Hi, I’m Royal — a tattoo artist in New York City (Lower East Side, Manhattan). I specialize in realism tattoos, including black & grey, portrait, color realism, and abstract realism. I focus on creating custom tattoos with strong composition, smooth shading, and clean contrast so the work reads well and ages beautifully.

Every tattoo is designed one-on-one. Whether you’re planning a single piece or a larger project like a sleeve, we’ll build the concept around your idea, placement, and skin flow. You can explore my portfolio on this site, and for the most recent healed and in-progress work, visit my social pages.
