Black and grey Icarus tattoo by our resident tattoo artist, Kelsey’s Liu. Kelsey is doing bigger and better pieces now after completed her apprenticeship. This Icarus tattoo came out nice and soft, as the client wanted a more of a stipple shading effect throughout the design. Black and grey tattoo have a different approach compared to say Japanese style. The fine line tattoo work between the Icarus was also done in a softer grey so when healed it will also come out light.
