FAQ
Before you book
What is a surrealist tattoo?
It is a composition that combines reality, imagination and unexpected visual associations.
Can surrealism be combined with another style?
Yes. Realism, anime, florals, graphic work or horror can meet when the overall composition remains clear.
What references should I send?
Subjects, colors, textures and moods are useful; they do not need to form a finished design.
