PORTRAIT, REALISM BLACK & GREY TATTOOS

I’m Owen Peat, a tattoo artist based in Norwich, specialising in black and grey realism with a particular passion for portraiture. Since completing my apprenticeship under Simon Syder in 2020,

I’ve been refining my skills, always striving to push the boundaries of detail and precision in my work.

Capturing a person’s likeness as accurately as possible has always been my artistic focus. I’m heavily inspired by artists like David Vega and Ralf Nonnweiler, whose smooth shading techniques and intricate details set the standard for realism.

I even use David Vega’s ink set to achieve the subtle tones and depth I want in my portraits.

I love challenging myself to include as many tiny details as possible, whether working on micro-realism or larger, more complex pieces. Every tattoo is a collaboration, and my goal is to create something truly personal and unique for each client.

You can find me at Black Dagger Tattoo Studio in Norwich.
