Wes Holland specializes in portraits in Black and grey, as well as color on dark skin tones at Lightwork Tattoo in Sandy Springs.

Creating tattoo art that honors your loved ones in the most meaningful way possible is the foundation of Portrait tattoos.

Tattoo collectors and first-timers alike often choose this style to serve as a tribute to family members and friends, and it’s extremely important to pay close attention to detail to capture their essence properly.

Our pets are cherished and beloved family members — pet portrait tattoos can serve as a beautiful and lasting way to honor their memory and personality, ensuring that their spirit and presence remain with us forever.

We have the skills and knowledge to create stunning pet portraits that pay homage to the bond you share.

While Black and grey is a classic choice for portrait tattoos, we also offer color portrait tattoos for brown skin tones. For best results with color tattoos on brown & dark skin, consider increasing the size of your portrait tattoo before inquiring. An open-minded approach to tattoo placement is key as well — with low sunlight exposure areas like inner biceps, upper arms & thighs, and torsos being among the top choices for color intensity.

This approach enhances the longevity of the tattoo while ensuring that the details remain sharp and captivating.

Whether you want to immortalize a loved one, honor a personal hero, or capture the essence of a beloved pet, Wes loves creating lifelike, realistic portrait tattoos for his clients.

We use Realism Tattoo and Illustrative Tattoo techniques to ensure that each portrait tattoo reflects emotion, personality, and depth for a lasting tribute.
