Inflicting Ink's Rhode Island Tattoo Studio Shop Services

Inflicting Ink offers a variety of services from different styles of tattooing to body piercing and cosmetic tattoos.

Inflicting Ink currently employs seven artists who are uniquely dedicated to tattooing as an art form that has its roots in history and early culture. They all come from diverse backgrounds and each specializes in different tattoo styles.

Styles of Tattooing

▪ Traditional or “Old School” – This style is bold, blue-black outlines, usually filled with solid red and green with rare additions of blue, yellow, brown and purple; and embellished with little or no shading (examples: Cherries, pin ups, roses, nautical stars, etc.).

▪ Contemporary or “New School” – Bold, bright and in your face style. It includes contemporary and fantastical designs. This style contains more elaborate blending and shading with extensive coloring and heavy outlines.

▪ Black and Gray – This style uses only black ink in a variety of shades. By mixing black ink with distilled water it creates a “wash” where lighter shades can be produced. This is the most popular method or tattooing.

▪ Tribal – This style is most recognizable with its dramatic use of aggressive dark lines in jagged symmetrical shapes and spread throughout the skin. These tattoos are more often done in simple black and skin tones

▪ Portraits – This style is simply the replication of a person, animal or any human realism. Most clients will bring in an actual picture so the artist can better capture the details. Portraits can be done in both color and black ink; however, many people find that black and gray is more realistic.

Inflicting Ink also provides body piercing

What is a Cosmetic Tattoo?

Cosmetic - Permanent Eyeliner, Lip liner, Lipstick, and Eyebrows

Permanent make-up is possible through a procedure called micro pigmentation, which is similar to tattooing. It can mimic eyeliner, eyebrow pencil, lip liner, and lipstick. When Inflicting Ink performs this medical procedure, permanent make-up can appear natural and attractive.

Advantages of Permanent Make-up

Permanent make-up is ideal for on-the-go women who always need to look their best but cannot afford the time to apply make-up throughout the day. At the end of the day, your make-up looks as though it was just freshened. You can select your color of make-up from a wide variety of shades, or a new shade can be created for you.
