Blackwork tattoos
At Studio Sailor, we understand the value of timeless art. The old saying “Bold Will Hold” has long been a popular mantra in the tattoo world for a reason. It signifies the power of sharp lines, deep black shadows, and solid colors that withstand the test of time. Black pigments are the most durable in the skin; without black, a tattoo is more prone to fading and losing its shape over time. That’s why at Studio Sailor, we embrace the blackwork tattoo style, focusing on powerful black ink that impresses not just now but retains its beauty for years to come.

Blackwork tattoo aftercare
Aftercare for a blackwork tattoo is essential to maintain the deep black tones and clarity of the design. At Studio Sailor, we use second skin. Second skin is a thin, transparent layer applied over your new tattoo. This significantly accelerates the healing process, ensuring that you don’t have to do anything for the first few days, and the tattoo is well protected. Of course, we are always ready to answer your questions and guide you through the healing process.
