Tattoo Artist Card - Long Taper Series Vol. I - Card 1/5
The Long Taper Series — Vol. I
Some tattoos are drawn.
Others are built.
The Long Taper Series is dedicated to the styles that demand depth, layering, and absolute control — the kind of work where a tattoo is sculpted into the skin over hours of patience and precision.
Named after the long taper needle — used for smooth gradients, soft transitions, and hyper-detailed realism — this series honors the artists who don't just apply ink, but shape light, shadow, and dimension.
These are the tattoos people travel for.
The ones that stop conversations.
Five Forms of Mastery
Vol. I features five elite tattoo disciplines that represent the highest level of technical artistry:
- Micro Realism — small-scale detail with maximum impact
- Color Realism — lifelike depth through pigment and tone
- Black & Grey Realism — emotion, texture, and subtlety in shadow
- Portraiture — capturing a soul, not just a face
- Surrealism — bending reality through ink and imagination
These are the styles where every mistake is visible — and every success unforgettable.
Certified Artist Edition
Every Long Taper card is part of the Certified Artist line — created to recognize tattooers who push beyond technique into true artistry.
If your work lives in the details…
If your tattoos feel more like paintings than ink…
The Long Taper Series was made to honor what you do.
Because when a piece reaches this level,
it's no longer just a tattoo —
it's a masterpiece.

Intro Message for Your Card Collection
Message:
We were all sent here for a mission. Some call it a dream. Others call it a purpose. But deep down, we all feel it — that pull toward something bigger than ourselves.
Jesus came to make the ultimate sacrifice, showing us what it looks like to give everything for the sake of love, truth, and redemption. He didn’t just save us. He showed us the way to live — with courage, with faith, and with surrender to the mission God placed in our hands.
These cards carry that same spirit. Each design, each verse, each story is more than art on paper. It’s a reminder that your life matters. That your mission matters. That when faith and purpose finally align, God will move mountains to see it through.
This isn’t about perfection. It’s about obedience. It’s about the people who say yes even when it costs them everything.
Because sometimes the greatest victories come after the greatest sacrifices.
