Realistic tattoos requires meticulous precision technique. The tattoo artists who practice it create works with the appearance of photographs inked directly on the skin. The realistic tattoo is recognizable by the delicacy of its patterns, almost as real as a photograph. The portrait is the most common design in this style, and the most successful tattoos give the impression of seeing real silver prints. In tattooing, realism and hyperrealism often show a breathtaking result. The fragile beauty of certain pieces hypnotizes, exerts such an attraction, that one sometimes arrives (for the most successful) to forget that they are worn by a human being.
