"Asian tattoo" is a very broad label. Asia includes many cultures and visual traditions, so the first step is choosing a specific direction-dragon themes, Chinese calligraphy, South Asian spiritual imagery, Southeast Asian ornamental geometry, or something tied to your own heritage.

Blackwork tattoos use solid black ink in bold, graphic compositions. The style ranges from large filled areas and heavy patterns to intricate designs that rely on contrast between ink and bare skin.

The upper arm is a classic tattoo placement with enough space for medium to large designs. It's easy to cover with a short sleeve and serves as a natural starting point for a half or full sleeve.
