Our Tattoo Style Specialties

We specialise in a wide range of tattoo styles, including Japanese, traditional, fine-line, geometric, dot-work, lettering, and black & grey.

Our specialty is Japanese tattooing in all styles. These intricate designs tell stories through bold lines, rich blacks, and, when desired, vibrant colours. They are ideal for anyone seeking anything from large-scale work, such as sleeves, full back pieces, or bodysuits, to a small one-shot tattoo. With decades of combined experience, our artists ensure every piece is both beautiful and meaningful.

For those who appreciate precision and detail, our fine-line and geometric tattoos offer elegance through simplicity. These styles are ideal for clients looking for subtle yet striking designs that stand out without overpowering.

Black & grey tattoos provide timeless beauty through shading techniques that create depth and realism. Our artists excel at transforming ideas into monochromatic masterpieces that capture emotion and expression as no other style can.

Rooted in the early days of modern electric tattooing, American and English traditional styles are defined by bold lines and iconic imagery. These time-honoured designs carry lasting cultural significance and adapt beautifully to a wide range of placements and personal interpretations.

  • “Absolutely blown away by my experience at Dynamic Tattoo over the years. Daryl is hands down the BEST tattoo artist I’ve ever had. His skills are incredible—his attention to detail, creativity, and precision are unmatched. From the moment I walked in on my first day not knowing nothing the entire staff Matt, Daryl, Trevor, Ross, Shane, and of course Joel were all so kind and understanding, creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. Daryl really took the time to understand my vision and what I wanted. The final result was beyond anything I could have imagined with both arm sleeves, chest and full back down along the 4 year period. If you’re looking for amazing artwork and a professional, supportive environment, Highly recommend Dynamic Tattoo. Thank you Team. 🙏”

  • “I had a great experience with Dynamic Tattoo, and my artist Matt. I got a response to my emailed enquiry within the day, and Matt was super efficient and friendly when it came to consulting about the design I desired, and the finished product was nothing short of perfect. Highly recommend giving this parlour a visit if you want a walk-in, flash tattoos, to larger scale designs. Fair pricing with amazing results. Definitely looking forward to returning to this store with future ideas!”

  • “I had such a great experience getting my Kitsune sleeve with Joel. He took my initial idea and created something even better than I could have ever imagined. I genuinely couldn't be happier with the result. He was patient and attentive during the painful parts, an absolute joy to talk to, and made the whole process so easy and relaxed. Everyone I met in the shop was also so welcoming and friendly. The art covering the walls is a testament to the incredible artists in that studio. If you're looking to get some Japanese style tattoos I can't recommend Joel enough. Thank you and I'll be back!”

  • Absolutely! We want you to be as comfortable as possible, which is why we encourage you to book a free tattoo consultation with your chosen artist at our tattoo parlour in Richmond. During the consultation, we’ll discuss the design, style, placement on your body, size, level of detail, and whether you prefer colour or monochrome. To help visualise your ideas, we’ll create a quick thumbnail sketch of your design’s composition.

  • A deposit is required after your consultation to secure your dates and times with your artist, should you choose to book with us. Once the concept has been refined, we can provide a reasonably accurate cost estimate, which may vary depending on the artist, along with a breakdown of the time required and whether charged hourly or by the session. If everything sounds good, we will proceed with scheduling the necessary appointments to begin and finish your tattoo.
