Exploring the Different Styles of Tattooing at Green Lotus Tattoo
At Green Lotus Tattoo, we believe tattoos are more than just ink — they’re a form of personal storytelling. Every client who walks into our Brunswick studio brings a unique vision, and our artists are skilled in a wide range of styles to bring those visions to life.
Some clients are drawn to the bold, iconic look of traditional tattoos — thick lines, vivid colours, and timeless symbols like anchors, roses, or eagles. Others prefer the evolution of that look found in neo-traditional work, where detailed shading and a richer palette allow for more complexity and personal expression.
For those who gravitate toward minimalist, striking aesthetics, blackwork is a popular choice. These tattoos rely on strong black ink to create shapes, patterns, and graphic designs that are both bold and refined. On the opposite end of the spectrum, fine line tattoos offer a delicate, subtle style — ideal for those who want something elegant, intricate, and quietly expressive.
Clients looking for something steeped in tradition and symbolism often explore Japanese tattooing, also known as Irezumi. This style flows beautifully with the body and features imagery like koi fish, dragons, waves, and cherry blossoms, all designed with deep cultural roots and artistic flair.
If realism is more your speed, our artists can create portraits, animals, or natural scenes that look almost photographic, whether in black and grey or full colour. We also offer watercolour tattoos — perfect for those who want an artistic splash of colour with soft gradients and painterly brushstroke effects.
Of course, one of the things we’re most passionate about at Green Lotus is custom work. Many of our clients come in with original ideas or want to blend styles, and we love collaborating to create something entirely unique that reflects who they are.
Our studio is a creative, welcoming space where quality, hygiene, and individuality come first. Whether you’re planning your first tattoo or adding to a growing collection, we’re here to help make your ideas permanent — in the best way possible.
