portrait tattoo
Inked face memorial
A portrait tattoo is a tattoo depicting a realistic likeness of a person's face, typically rendered in fine detail with careful shading.
Subjects are often loved ones, celebrities, or historical figures: She got a portrait tattoo of her grandmother on her forearm.
The style demands exceptional skill from the artist, as faces reveal flaws immediately.
