Layered color piece balancing dense linework with open skin.
A few pieces that show the range of the studio: dense blackwork, layered color, and illustration that reads clearly from across the room.

Layered color piece balancing dense linework with open skin.

High contrast blackwork with graphic shading and bold silhouette.

A poster style composition built around strong central imagery.
Graphic illustrative tattooing sits between classic flash and fine art. The work leans on strong silhouettes, confident linework, and color that stays honest as it heals. Brian has been tattooing for more than six years and draws every design himself, so nothing on your skin comes off a stock sheet.
The studio takes a small number of projects at a time. That keeps every appointment focused and every design personal. If you want a piece that looks like it was made for you, because it was, start a request and tell us the idea.
Khroma Tattoo specializes in graphic illustrative tattooing: bold structural linework, saturated color, and compositions built like poster art. Every design is drawn from scratch by artist Brian Lai.
The studio is in Austin, Texas. It is a private studio, so visits are by appointment rather than walk-in. The full address, hours, and a map are on the Booking and Contact page.
