Black & Grey Tattoo

Other things that need to be kept in mind are needle depth and speed. For a lighter shade, hand speed can be increased. After a tattoo has been completed with varying degrees of black, highlights are often added using white. White ink can also be used to smooth out sharp transitions between the different shades. Black and grey tattoos are generally believed to have originated within prison systems, where inmates had no access to colored ink. They perfected a single-needle tattoo machine to produce highly realistic shading in their tattoo designs. This technique works well for portraiture.

Black-and-gray is a style of tattooing that uses only black ink in varying shades. Typically, black and gray tattoo work consists in using different shades of black. By diluting the black ink with distilled water in various proportions, creating a "wash", lighter shades can be produced. Although this is the popular method, some artists mix white ink with black, but it is not the traditional method.
