Custom Black And Grey Piece

A focused tattoo experience built around your idea, placement, and preferred level of detail.

A More Personal Way to Shape Your Tattoo

I begin by discussing the subject, mood, scale, and placement you have in mind. From there, I develop a composition that uses black ink, grey wash, contrast, and negative space with intention. The result is a custom piece designed to feel balanced on your body rather than adapted from a generic template.

The appointment is paced carefully, with time to confirm the placement and make sure the design feels right before tattooing begins. During the session, I work methodically through the linework, shading, and tonal transitions. This approach keeps the experience clear and collaborative while giving the finished tattoo the depth and structure black and grey work is known for.

Ideal For

  • Portraits and realistic subjects

  • Dark, atmospheric imagery

  • Detailed pieces with layered shading

  • Clients developing an original concept

How It Works

  1. Consultation: We discuss your idea, references, placement, and desired scale.

  2. Design Planning: I shape the composition around your body and the visual direction we establish.

  3. Tattoo Session: I confirm the placement, then build the piece through precise linework and shading.

About

Precision In Every Mark

I am Lord Eric Badan, a tattooer focused on detailed black and grey work. My approach is patient and deliberate, balancing strong composition with subtle shading so each piece feels considered, readable, and personal. I take time to understand the idea behind a design and translate it into artwork that suits the body and holds its character over time. Black and grey tattooing gives me room to build atmosphere through contrast, texture, and controlled gradients. Whether you have a clear concept or need help developing one, I guide the process from consultation through placement and tattooing. You can expect thoughtful design work, a calm experience, and close attention to the details that make your tattoo distinct.
