Lately we've been getting a lot of custom tattoo requests asking for Photorealism. Photorealistic art takes an amazing amount of skill and experience. The artwork itself is quite intense and time consuming. It takes a truly classically trained illustrator to be able to draw at this level. Requests for Photorealism include portraits of family members, spouses, friends and celebrities. Animals are also a popular subject for photorealistic requests, as they often symbolize or represent some trait that the tattoo collector has or portrays themselves to be. Other photorealistic requests are for flowers, trees, leaves, and other elements of nature, where the collector wants the tattoo as close to real as nature can get. Famous landmarks and landscapes are also great subjects because they are historical and instantly recognizable. 

Photorealistic tattoos are often viewed as a higher and more impressive type of tattoo. If you have ever seen a great photorealistic tattoo, it's easy to see why!
