Asian Tattoo Photo #22929

"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.

Using only black ink at different dilutions, this style achieves a photographic quality with rich shadows and soft highlights. Black and grey work is versatile enough for portraits, nature scenes, and symbolic imagery.

The ribcage offers a private placement that only shows when the wearer chooses. Its curved surface adds dimension to designs, though the area is known for being one of the more sensitive spots to tattoo.
