Explore Different Tattoo Styles at Silver Ghost Tattoo

Tattoos are more than just art – they’re a form of self-expression, storytelling, and creativity. At Silver Ghost Tattoo, located in the heart of Old Strathcona at 10422 81 Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta, we specialize in a wide variety of tattoo styles to match your vision and personality.

If you’re considering getting inked, here’s a guide to some of the most popular tattoo styles we offer.


1. Traditional Tattoos

Also known as American Traditional, this timeless style features bold lines, bright colors, and classic imagery such as anchors, roses, skulls, and swallows. Traditional tattoos are known for their simplicity, longevity, and iconic aesthetic.

Perfect for: Clients who love old-school tattoo culture and bold, eye-catching designs.


2. Black and Grey Tattoos

Black and grey tattoos use shading and varying tones of black ink to create depth and detail. This style is perfect for realistic portraits, religious imagery, and intricate designs.

Perfect for: Clients who prefer subtle, detailed tattoos with a timeless monochromatic look.


3. Fine Line Tattoos

Delicate and minimalist, fine line tattoos feature thin, precise lines to create detailed artwork. Popular for small tattoos, fine line work often includes geometric shapes, flowers, and minimal designs.

Perfect for: Clients seeking elegant, understated tattoos or meaningful small pieces.


4. Japanese Tattoos

Irezumi, or Japanese tattoos, are known for their rich symbolism, bold linework, and vivid colors. These large, intricate designs often feature koi fish, dragons, tigers, cherry blossoms, and mythological figures.

Perfect for: Clients drawn to cultural symbolism and large, detailed pieces.


5. Realism Tattoos

Realism tattoos mimic the look of photographs or real-life objects, capturing incredible detail and shading. Whether it’s a person’s portrait, animals, or nature scenes, realism tattoos bring your vision to life with precision.

Perfect for: Clients looking for lifelike tattoos with depth, contrast, and realism.


6. Neo-Traditional Tattoos

Neo-traditional tattoos build on the foundations of traditional tattoos but incorporate modern techniques, more details, and a broader color palette. This style often includes intricate linework and imaginative subjects.

Perfect for: Clients who want bold, artistic designs with added depth and creativity.


7. Geometric Tattoos

Geometric tattoos feature lines, shapes, and patterns to create mesmerizing, symmetrical designs. They often include mandalas, animals, or abstract art and are known for their precision and symmetry.

Perfect for: Clients who love structured, visually appealing tattoos that symbolize balance and harmony.


8. Illustrative Tattoos

Illustrative tattoos combine elements of realism and traditional art with a focus on bold outlines, shading, and artistic flair. These tattoos often resemble drawings or paintings and are perfect for creating unique, customized designs.
