Micro realism

Micro realism tattoos combine fine detail with subtle scale, creating lifelike designs in a compact format. At Lemarté, I specialize in custom micro realism pieces that focus on precision, depth, and personal meaning ideal for portraits, nature, or symbolic imagery.

Portrait

Portrait tattoos are a powerful way to honour someone special or preserve a memory. I create detailed portrait work in colour or black and grey, designed with emotion, accuracy, and realism to ensure each piece truly comes to life.

B&G Micro realism

Black and grey Fine line and micro realism tattoos focus on clean detail, subtle depth, and lifelike shading in small scale. At Lemarté, I design custom pieces ideal for floral work, minimal design, and symbolic elements crafted to age beautifully on the skin.

Black and grey

Black and grey realism tattoos focus on contrast, texture, and lifelike shading. At Lemarté, I create custom designs that capture depth and emotion using only black ink ideal for portraits, nature, or symbolic imagery with a timeless, refined finish.

Cover-up

Cover-up tattoos are a chance to transform old ink into something new and meaningful. At Lemarté, I work closely with each client to design custom cover-ups that blend artistic realism, colour, and composition turning past tattoos into fresh, original artwork.
