BLACK& GREYTATTOO GDAŃSK.
Custom Black & Grey tattoos by Mariana Tkachuk at Black Stroke in Gdańsk — individual designs built around contrast, composition, detail and the natural lines of the body.
01 · BLACK & GREY
BLACK.GREY.DEPTH.
Black & Grey tattooing builds an image through black ink, different values of grey, contrast and negative space. The result can be subtle and atmospheric or dark and highly expressive.
Mariana creates each project individually. References and ideas are adapted to the placement, scale and anatomy so the composition works naturally on the body instead of looking like an image simply placed on the skin.
At Black Stroke in Gdańsk, Black & Grey can move between detailed realism, graphic elements and darker compositions. The direction of every tattoo depends on the idea and the person it is created for.
