All tatoo artists have different aspects to tattooing, and all have their own unique styles, some are more skilled in black and grey portraits, others graffiti work, or japanese designs. I have chosen to compare Chris Garver and Kat Von D. Both are very talented artists, but have an individual style which they are best at doing. Kat Von D's style is black and grey portrait work, it is very rare that she does anything else, but because she is that talented at portrait work she chooses to do nothing else and can get away with it, as people from around the world want portrait work off her.

Chris Garver has been tattooing since 1988 and is one of the most well known tattoo artists ever, and has tattoed many celebrities. He is well known for his japanese style work, especially his dragons and tigers, but will still do any other tattoo designs. He is not as picky as Kat Von D about what he is tattooing on somebody, I beleive he is much more passionate about tattooing somebody rather then Kat is. Because if she only does black and grey, as talented as she may be, she will not learn. Chris Garver has alot more talent in every area of tattooing. Therefore is more respected in the tattooing world.
