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. My focus is 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.

To request a consultation, please use the contact form or email the studio with:

• your idea (and reference images if you have them)

• placement + approximate size

I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

— Royal
