Surreal tattoos are really catching on. Like in surreal art, there are no strict rules for the Surrealist tattoo style. These tattoos blend dreams, creativity, and the subconscious with reality, making your wildest fantasies come to life on your skin. They use techniques like linework, dotwork, and blackwork to create unique designs that are both imaginative and eye-catching.
Each surreal tattoo is unique to the artist who created it. Since these tattoos are all about imagination, each artist has their style and ideas. It’s essential to choose an artist whose work speaks to you. At Love Machine Surreal Tattoo Studio, we’ve brought together top artists with the coolest designs. Take a look at our portfolio and see for yourself!

"The store itself is now HUGE. So much space! Clean, but with a lot of cool art. There is always coffee and tea, comfortable sofas, etc. I have always worked with Vasily Shedin, he is very talented and very easy to work with."

"I've been going to LOVE Machine for about 3 years now and couldn't recommend this place enough. All the staff and performers are incredible and very friendly. The new place is amazing, very clean and inviting. Denis worked on my sleeve and is an amazing artist. Truly the best. I also think it's important to note that artists love what they do and take great pride in their work. I won't go anywhere else. I would give them 6 stars if I could."

Frequently Asked Question
Can I bring in my own Surrealism tattoo design?
Of course! You can bring your design or team up with one of our artists to create something unique. Our talented crew will help you pick the perfect design and spot. We’ve also got tons of Surrealism tattoo flash designs for you to check out or get inspired by.
What size should I anticipate for my Surrealism tattoo?
Go big or keep it small — your choice! Surrealism tattoo style is often popular for sleeves or large pieces across your back or chest. But if you’re after something more low-key, a Geometric surrealism tattoo paired with Fineline micro-realism looks impressive, too.
Will a Surrealism tattoo last?
Placement is key! Tattoos on high-friction or sun-exposed areas like hands and feet might fade quicker than those on your upper back or chest. The ink might spread a bit over time if you have oily skin. But don’t stress — our artists will give you all the care tips you need and offer touch-ups if needed.
Do most tattoo artists offer Surrealism tattoos?
Surrealism tattoos must have a vibe that matches the artist’s style and vision. Not every tattoo Surrealism artist is into surreal designs, but we have artists who get it at our studio. Check out their work below and find someone who shares your creative vision.
How do I know if a Surrealism tattoo is right for me?
If you love blending reality with fantasy and creating something unique, a dark Surrealism tattoo is perfect. It’s a chance to showcase your thoughts, emotions, and stories in a dreamlike design on your skin. Still unsure? Chat with our artist or book a free online consultation during an in-person meeting.
