Custom Work ▪ Tattoo Restoration ▪ Cover-ups ▪ Full-Color ▪ Bright Color ▪ Free Hand
▪ Black and Grey Tattoos
Many of the strongest tattoos you'll ever see will be black and gray pieces. The idea of working with value alone and no color gives the art total focus on line and shading.
▪ Old School Tattoos
Generally known for their military and nautical themes as associated with the Navy, old school tattoos of pinups, anchors, and battleships can be most easily recognized by their limited color palette and thick bold lines (due to the limitations of the inks and the tattoo machines being used). Old school tattoos are stylish even after the advancements in inks and machines because of what they represent and their unique look.
▪ Lettering
Sometimes the best way to say what you want to say with your tattoo is to just spell it out! Ivory Tiger Tattoo artists specialize in lettering and can tattoo virtually any style of lettering for you.
▪ Celtic Tattoos
The intricacy of Celtic knot work defies literal translation and its meaning is to be found at a deeper level. The repeated crossing of the physical and the spiritual are expressed in the interlace of the knots. The never ending path of the strands may represent the permanence and the continuum of life, love and faith and for these reason Celtic tattoos have become so popular.
▪ Military Tattoos
Military tattoos are popular throughout the entire military and include everything from pin-ups, flags, unit patches, eagles, dog tags, and more.
▪ Tribal Tattoo
Tribal tattoos have been practiced in one form or another for millennia. While the practice may be somewhat different nowadays there are still many who get tribal tattoos for reasons which could be described as neo-tribal in their quest to belong to a 'tribe' (either neo-tribal or traditional) even if it is on a subconscious level. Most simply get tribal tattoos because of their striking appearance.
▪ Biker Tattoos
For generations, bikes and tattoos are two peas in a pod. Where one goes, surely the other will follow.
▪ Spiritual Tattoos
Spiritual tattoos have always been popular and probably always will. What's more permanent than someone's belief system? Christian tattoos, Buddhist symbol tattoos and other eastern religious symbol tattoos are all very common and generally regarded as a positive reminder of faith.
▪ Mythological
From zodiac symbols to Greek gods and goddesses to mermaids, there's something to be said for ancient stories still carrying weight with us today. Constellations, mythical creatures like unicorns, centaurs, and mermaids, all have special meaning and significance, some of which are universal, and some that may be personal just to you.
▪ Chinese Tattoos
But before you run off to the studio to get one done you should do your research. Selecting a Chinese tattoo deserves careful study and attention. It should have less to do with style and more to do with your character, work, and values. It's permanent, so it's a pretty important decision in your life. In the end, it is important to choose something of lasting appeal not something faddish.
▪ Bio-mechanical Tattoos
Bio-mechanical tattoos were all the rage in the 80's and 90's, and has experienced a resurgence of late. The idea of blending biological elements with mechanical elements in a tattoo is a statement in more ways than one. All statements and symbolism aside, they just look really cool, which is often enough for a really great tattoo.
▪ Kanjis
The written Japanese and Chinese languages are composed not of individual letters but of ideographs or pictographs, which represent an idea or thing. Some characters consist of more than 30 strokes. Kanjis are NOT really a traditional Japanese tattoo BUT more a style of tattoo. If you are getting a kanji be sure that what you are getting done is something that means a lot to you and is translated correctly.
▪ Animals
Whether it’s the courage of a lion or the intelligence of the octopus, tattoos of animals are often wonderful universal symbols that people can relate to. Sometimes the inherent beauty of the animal is enough too.
▪ Portraits
Display your loved ones.
▪ Custom
Our talented artists can create the perfect tattoo, suited for you. Anything is possible!
Hours: Monday - Saturday 12p - 8p / Sunday by appointment only.
