Tattoo Styles We Specialize In
One roof, every style. Whatever you're after, there's a Yes Electric artist in Toronto who lives in that lane — here's what our Queen West collective tattoos.
Fine Line Tattoos
Delicate single-needle fine line work — script, florals, minimalist and small tattoos with crisp, precise detail. A signature lane for BlacMars and Lux.
Black & Grey Realism
Smooth tonal black & grey realism — portraits, animals and statement pieces with depth and contrast built to settle beautifully once healed.
Colour Realism
Vivid, saturated colour realism and illustrative pieces — pop-culture, nature and custom designs that stay bold for years.
Micro-Realism
Tiny, hyper-detailed micro-realism — small-scale portraits and objects packed with fine detail for collectors who want subtle impact.
Fine Line Floral & Botanical
Flowing florals, botanicals and fine line nature work that wraps the body — a favourite for elegant sleeves and side pieces.
Blackwork & Blackout
Bold solid black, blackout sleeves, blast-overs and cyber-sigilism — heavy, graphic tattoos that read clean from across the room.
Lettering, Script & Chicano
Clean freehand lettering, flowing script and chicano streetstyle — names, quotes and fonts laid out to flow with your body.
Japanese / Irezumi
Traditional Japanese and Irezumi-inspired work — dragons, koi, waves and large-scale flowing compositions.
Neo-Traditional & Illustrative
Bold lines and rich colour meet illustrative storytelling — neo-traditional pieces with a modern, custom edge.
Dotwork & Ornamental
Stippled dotwork, geometric and ornamental mandala designs — meditative detail and symmetry, freehanded to your anatomy.
Fantasy & Dark Art
Dark art, fantasy and horror — armoured figures, demons and narrative pieces with attitude and high contrast.
Cover-Ups & Reworks
Turn old or faded ink into something you love — honest assessments and custom cover-ups planned with you before you commit.
