Classic tattoos remain popular for their clarity, longevity, and their ability to capture powerful symbolism in a straightforward yet memorable way. At Chi Cha Tattooing, we celebrate the timeless beauty of classic tattoos under the expert hands of our founder, Marcos Salcedo. With over 20 years of experience honed from the picturesque Canary Islands to our studio, Marcos understands that these are the epitome of timeless art in the tattoo world.
We infuse each classic tattoo with bold lines, vibrant colors, and iconic designs like hearts, anchors, and eagles. His journey, beginning with a profound love for drawing, is evident in every heart, anchor, and eagle he inks. The limited color palette of red, green, yellow, and black adds to their classic appeal.
These tattoos are more than art; they are stories of tradition and history, passionately retold through Marcos’s skilled craftsmanship. At Chi Cha, you don’t just get a tattoo; you wear a piece of tattooing legacy, crafted with the personal touch of a master who started by inking his own designs.
If you want a subtler approach to tattooing with a shadow-like effect, resembling a charcoal drawing on skin, Grey Wash Tattoo is for you! This style is known for its depth, dimension, and realistic feel, using diluted black ink for varying intensities of grey. Chi Cha stands out with its exceptional artistry in grey-wash tattooing. Knowing it is particularly favored for portrait tattoos, detailed scenery, and wildlife depictions, each stroke of our needle brings to life stunning shades of grey, capturing the essence of realism and depth.
Marcos’s transition from drawing designs for a friend to mastering the art of tattooing on alternative mediums like pork skin is reflected in his skillful shading and detailing. These tattoos, resembling delicate charcoal drawings, showcase his artistic versatility. The technique we employ allows for smooth gradients and soft transitions, giving a photo-realistic quality to the artwork. This style is perfect for those who prefer a more understated and realistic form of body art.
So, whether you want a lifelike portrait or a landscape, Chi Cha’s work in the grey wash is a testament to Marcos’s dedication and years of perfecting his craft.
