Want a tattoo that looks like a photograph — or one that bursts with cartoon energy and color? Realism and New School are two of the most eye-catching tattoo styles, and both are specialties at Modified Tattoo Gallery in Winter Park, FL.
Realism tattoos
Realism tattoos recreate their subject with lifelike detail — portraits, animals, objects, and scenes rendered with true-to-life shading and depth. They can be done in color realism or black and grey, and they demand an artist with a strong fine-art foundation and mastery of light and shadow.
New School tattoos
New School is the opposite energy: bold outlines, exaggerated proportions, wild color, and a fun, cartoon-inspired look. Think vibrant, dynamic, larger-than-life designs full of personality. It's perfect for pop-culture pieces and characters with attitude.
