Manny's Portfolio

Manny is best known for his New School & Illustrative tattoo styles.

New School is often characterized by the use of heavy outlines, vivid colors, and exaggerated depictions of the subject. In addition, new School tattoos have a distinct graffiti or cartoonish element, vibrant colors, and often include a pop culture reference. 

Illustrative styles combine techniques from both traditional and realism. Typically they feature bold outlines with intense color saturation paired with realistic shading techniques to create a tattoo that looks more like an illustration than a tattoo. The key to an illustrative tattoo is that it retains a drawn, animated feel rather than being shaded to look photo-realistic.
