Jaivik TattooPortrait tattoos in Delhi
A portrait tattoo keeps a face with you: a parent, a child, a partner, a friend or a pet. Jaivik Tattoo makes portraits in realistic black and grey and in fine line, depending on the look you want.
What is a portrait tattoo?
Portraits can take three forms. Realistic black and grey recreates the face with soft shading. Fine line draws it as a clean outline, as in the framed family portrait above. Illustrated portraits simplify the faces into a drawn style. The right one depends on the photo you have and the feeling you want from the tattoo.
Designs that suit it
- Parents, grandparents and other elders
- Children and siblings
- Partners and close friends
- Pets, with or without a name in script
- Memorial portraits of someone who has passed
Choosing the photo
The photo does most of the work. Look for a clear, in-focus image taken in even light, with the face fully visible and no heavy shadows. Old or blurry photos can still work, but the artist may rebuild details by hand, and that is easier to judge once we see the file. Send it on WhatsApp before booking so the approach and size can be decided.

Healing and aftercare
Faces show every change in contrast, so protect the tattoo from sun and keep the skin moisturised once healed.

Questions people ask
Can you do a portrait from an old or blurry photo?
Often yes, but results depend on how much detail the photo holds. Send it on WhatsApp and the artist can tell you what is possible.
Can I combine two or more people in one portrait?
Yes. Group and family portraits are common, as a realistic piece or in fine line inside a frame. More faces need more space.
Is it possible to add a name or date?
Yes. Names, dates and short phrases can be added in script beneath or beside the portrait.
