Tattoo styles in London

Fine line tattoos are all about subtlety and intention. At Sixty Ink in Soho London, our artists create clean, delicate tattoos with precise linework and a refined aesthetic. Perfect for minimal symbols, small meaningful pieces and understated designs that still carry weight.

Color realism and hyper realistic tattoos bring imagery to life on skin. At Sixty Ink, our realism artists in Soho London specialise in portraits, cinematic scenes and high-detail designs that feel like stills from a film — sharp, moody and full of atmosphere.

Engraving and etching tattoos mimic the texture of old printmaking and classic book illustrations. At Sixty Ink in Soho London, our artists create tattoos built from fine lines, cross-hatching and intricate shading that look like they’ve been carved into paper — only this time, it’s skin.

Illustrative tattoos sit between drawing and painting — line-led, expressive and full of narrative. At Sixty Ink, our artists design illustrative pieces that feel like they were sketched or inked directly onto your skin, guided by story and symbolism.

Surrealist tattoos bend reality — merging objects, bodies and symbols into something strange and meaningful. At Sixty Ink in Soho London, we create conceptual tattoos that feel like scenes from dreams or visions, built from your own personal imagery.

Ornamental tattoos use flowing lines, filigree and patterns to highlight the shape of the body. At Sixty Ink in Soho London, we design ornamental and pattern-based tattoos that frame curves, joints and muscle groups in a graceful, intentional way.

Avant-garde tattoos break rules, challenge structure and create something entirely new. At Sixty Ink in Soho London, our artists specialise in abstract, experimental and concept-driven tattoo art — designs that feel modern, bold and deeply personal. This style is for clients who want something that doesn't exist yet, something sculpted from ideas rather than templates.

Micro realism blends the subtle scale of fine line work with the depth of realism. At Sixty Ink, our artists create small, detailed tattoos that capture portraits, objects and symbols with surprising clarity, even at a compact size.

Old school and traditional tattoos are built to last: bold lines, solid colour and iconic imagery. At Sixty Ink, our artists honour classic tattoo language — eagles, daggers, hearts, roses, banners and more — while adding modern flair where it fits.

Anime tattoos turn your favourite stories into permanent art. At Sixty Ink in Soho London, we create character portraits, dynamic scenes and stylised designs inspired by anime, manga and graphic storytelling.

Script tattoos turn language into design — names, dates, lyrics, mantras and quotes carried close. At Sixty Ink in Soho London, we design lettering tattoos that are legible, flowing and built to age beautifully.

Geometric tattoos use lines, shapes and symmetry to build powerful visual structures on the body. At Sixty Ink in Soho London, we create geometric designs that flow with muscle lines, bone structure and movement.
