Black and grey tattoos in Montréal

Ink and skin, nothing else. Depth comes from the shading, not from colour.

Comme des Dessins ✦ Black and grey tattoos in Montréal

Black and grey is the whole practice here: animals, figures from myth, and botanicals rendered in graded shades from pencil-soft grey to solid black. Large pieces (full backs, sleeves, chest panels) are planned as one drawing, then built over sessions so the whole reads as a single image.

Prices are per session and listed in CAD and USD; a full-day session is the most efficient way to move a large piece forward.

It depends on size and detail, but large projects are typically five sessions or more, planned together from the start.

Occasionally, when the drawing asks for it (red thread, red peonies). The foundation stays black and grey.
