The Most Common Types of Tattoos We Create

Traditional American

Bold lines, vivid colors, and timeless motifs define this classic style. We use 5-14 round liner needles for crisp outlines and 7-15 magnum needles for solid color packing. Expect simple designs with deep symbolism - perfect for those who appreciate nostalgia with a punch.

Realism

Bringing photographs to life on the skin is our specialty. We employ a mix of 3RL to 9RL needles for intricate details and various magnum configurations for smooth shading. This style requires multiple sessions but results in stunning, lifelike portraits or nature scenes.

Blackwork

From delicate dotwork to bold tribal designs, blackwork is as versatile as stunning. We use 3RL to 18RL needles for precise line work and 15-25 magnum needles for large black areas. It's an excellent choice for geometric patterns or cover-ups.

Neo-Traditional

A modern twist on classic tattoos, featuring bolder lines and a broader color palette. We combine 5-14RL needles for outlines with 7-15 magnum needles for vibrant color saturation. This style allows for more complex designs while retaining a traditional feel.

Watercolor

Mimicking the fluidity of watercolor paintings, this style uses 3-5RL needles for delicate outlines and various magnum needles for color blending. We employ color theory to create depth without heavy black lines, resulting in ethereal, painterly tattoos.

Minimalist

Less is more with this style. We use single-needle techniques (1RL-3RL) for ultra-fine lines and subtle shading. Perfect for small, meaningful symbols or text, these tattoos heal quickly and age well with proper care.

I highly recommend coming to Kaos for your tattoo. I have had two other tattoos done by him and tonight I had him do a couple deer on my arm. He is fun, friendly, quick to respond, and fair priced. I can’t wait to come back for the next one.

This was my first tattoo experience and it was amazing! Kaos did a wonderful job at walking me through the process and the tattoo came out exactly how I wanted. I left knowing exactly what I needed to treat it and how it should be done. Huge recommendation for any first timers or anyone looking for the truth on what they should expect!

Got my nose pierced almost 2 weeks and it was a great experience! Sanitary, nice and efficient. I was looking for a last minute piercing at 8pm on a Thursday and open locations were minimal, as soon as I called if they would take a walk in piercing their answer was “Absolutely!” Definitely recommend.
