Chicano tattoo in Erfurt
Chicano tattoos originally come from the Mexican-American culture of Los Angeles. They were created there with the simplest means and still grew into one of the finest black & grey styles of all: soft shading, flowing transitions and hardly any hard outlines.
Typical designs are portraits of women, roses, clocks, angels, religious symbols and lettering in flowing script. Chicano is one of the styles I've specialised in, and I work it with respect for the tradition it comes from.
What makes Chicano
- Black & grey, worked in shades of grey with soft gradients
- Flowing script and Old English lettering
- Classic designs: portraits of women, roses, clocks, angels, rosaries
- Often a larger composition across arm, chest or back
Chicano work

- Skin type
- Chicano suits all skin types very well, because the style works entirely with black and grey and doesn't depend on colour.
- Size
- Medium to large. The soft transitions need space, and small Chicano designs lose exactly the depth that defines the style.
- Experience
- It's possible as a first tattoo too. I plan larger compositions with you as a project over several sessions, so we both know what we're working towards.
