The professional tattoo artist and resident resident of Inknation Studio, José Contreras participated in the 2022 edition of the New York Tattoo Convention where he stands out for fusing micro realism with his Japanese ink painting technique.Â
Micro Realism has become a highly demanded tattoo style thanks to its great visual impact, simplicity, minimalism and authentic quality in details and textures.
For this reason, professional tattoo artist José Contreras recommends using small needles like the 3 RL to create texturing techniques that will bring your tattoo to life.
On the other hand, he emphasizes that to create a Micro Realistic tattoo that lasts over time, it’s essential to work in layers. To do this, applying dark tones that don’t reach black in the first layers and then working on textures and darks is the ideal technique for this type of tattoo style.
In this way, the professional tattoo artist José Contreras created a piece in Micro Realism with an exceptional quality of detail and great visual impact.Â
