Black and Grey Roses Tattoo Design Picture 15
Black and gray tattoos design are generally believed to have started in prisons in the United States. This was probably due to the difficulty of prison inmates getting their hands on colored ink. When several tattooists such as California’s Jack Rudy and ‘Good Time Charlie Cartwright’ saw the work for the first time they realized that there was great artistic potential in adapting it for use in tattoo shops outside of prisons. The advancement of this underground technique was refined in the 1970′s, turning black and gray or ‘joint style’ tattoos into a mainstay of modern tattooing. Black and Gray is customary used for portraits or for achieving a very realistic effect. The artist’s concentration is focused on the line and shading of the piece.
