Who Is Richie Long, Our Wilmington Tattoo Artist?
Richie Long has spent years building range most artists never bother with. He works across many styles, from bold color to small script. That range comes from real repetition in each style, not a passing interest.
You can see it in the work he does at Tainted Flesh Body Art North, our tattoo studio on Concord Pike. He is one of our tattoo artists here in Wilmington.
What Multi-Style Actually Means
Multi-style does not mean average at every style. It means real skill built across several styles. Richie moves between bold traditional work and delicate small script without either one suffering. Few artists put in the years it takes to do both well.
American Traditional And Bold Color Tattoos In Wilmington, DE
American traditional tattooing goes back over a century. It means bold lines and solid color. Richie works in that style, along with bold color pieces more broadly.
Thick linework holds up over decades better than thin, soft lines do. That toughness is part of why the style never went away. If you want an American traditional tattoo in Wilmington, DE, bring your idea and he will show you how it can work.
Small Script And Flash Tattoos At Our Concord Pike Studio
Not everyone wants a large, bold piece. Richie also does small script and flash work with the same care. A short phrase or a small flash piece still needs a steady hand.
