Tattoo Styles We Specialize In

Every artist at Stranded Ink brings unique strengths to the table. As a result, we can execute virtually any tattoo style with precision and artistry. Here are the styles our Yuma tattoo artists are known for.

Traditional & Neo-Traditional

Bold lines, vibrant colors, and timeless imagery define American traditional tattoos. Similarly, neo-traditional builds on this foundation with more detail and shading. These styles feature iconic motifs like anchors, roses, eagles, and pin-ups that never go out of style.

  • Bold Outlines
  • Vibrant Colors
  • Classic Imagery

Black & Grey Realism

Our artists excel at creating stunning black and grey tattoos in Yuma. This style uses varying shades of black ink to create depth, dimension, and photorealistic effects. Consequently, portraits, animals, and nature scenes come alive with incredible detail and smooth gradients.

  • Photorealistic
  • Smooth Shading
  • High Detail

Color Realism & Portraits

Capture loved ones, pets, or heroes in stunning color portrait tattoos. This challenging style requires exceptional skill and attention to detail. Therefore, our experienced artists take extra care to ensure every portrait captures the essence and likeness of your subject perfectly.

  • Lifelike Portraits
  • Vibrant Colors
  • Memorial Pieces

Fine Line & Script

Delicate, intricate, and elegant—fine line tattoos feature thin, precise lines that create minimalist yet impactful designs. In addition, our lettering specialists craft beautiful script tattoos with perfect flow and readability. Names, quotes, and meaningful phrases become works of art.

  • Minimalist
  • Delicate Lines
  • Custom Lettering

Watercolor Tattoos

Mimicking the fluid, dreamy quality of watercolor paintings, this style features soft edges, color splashes, and artistic blending. As a result, watercolor tattoos create a unique painterly effect that stands out from traditional styles. Perfect for those wanting something truly artistic.

Cover-Up Tattoos & Reworks

Got an old tattoo you regret? You're not alone—and you're not stuck with it. Our experienced artists specialize in transforming unwanted ink into beautiful new designs. Cover-up tattoos require advanced skill and creative problem-solving, which is why Yuma residents trust Stranded Ink for this specialized service.

During your free consultation, we'll assess your existing tattoo and discuss options. In some cases, a complete cover-up works best. However, other tattoos may benefit from a rework or touch-up instead. We'll recommend the approach that gives you the best results.

Our Cover-Up Services Include:

  • Full Cover-Up Designs — Transform old tattoos into completely new artwork
  • Tattoo Reworks — Enhance and improve existing tattoos you like but want better
  • Faded Tattoo Restoration — Bring old, faded ink back to life with fresh color
  • Color Correction — Fix tattoos with blown-out lines or poor color saturation

Tattoo Pricing & Deposits

We believe in transparent pricing with no surprises. Here's everything you need to know about tattoo costs and our deposit policy.

$50 Non-Refundable Deposit Applied to your final tattoo cost

How Pricing Works

Tattoo pricing varies based on several factors: size, complexity, placement, color vs. black and grey, and time required. During your free consultation, we'll discuss your design and provide a clear quote before any work begins. As a result, you'll know exactly what to expect with no hidden fees.

For larger pieces requiring multiple sessions, we'll break down the total cost and create a payment plan that works for you. Most importantly, quality always comes first—we never rush artwork to save time.

Common Questions About Deposits

Are tattoo deposits refundable?

No, tattoo deposits at Stranded Ink are non-refundable. This policy exists because your artist spends time designing custom artwork specifically for you before your appointment. However, your $50 deposit does apply toward your final tattoo cost, so you're not paying extra.

Does the deposit count towards my tattoo?

Yes! Your $50 deposit is applied directly to your final tattoo price. For example, if your tattoo costs $200, you'll only owe $150 at your appointment. Think of the deposit as a down payment, not an additional fee.

How much is a tattoo deposit?

Our standard deposit is $50 for all tattoo appointments. This secures your spot on the artist's schedule and covers the time spent creating your custom design. The deposit is required when booking and applies to your final cost.

What if I need to reschedule?

Life happens! If you need to reschedule, simply call us at least 24 hours before your appointment. In that case, we'll transfer your deposit to your new date. However, no-shows or last-minute cancellations may forfeit the deposit.

How much does a tattoo cost?

Tattoo pricing depends on size, detail, placement, and time required. Small simple tattoos may start around $80-150, while larger detailed pieces can be several hundred dollars or more. We provide free consultations with exact quotes before any work begins—no surprises.

Do you offer payment plans?

For larger pieces requiring multiple sessions, we can break the work and payment into manageable parts. Each session is paid individually, making it easier to budget for your dream tattoo. Discuss options during your consultation.
