Band Tattoo Photo #19371

Some people use band tattoos to mark a milestone or represent boundaries and strength. Others choose them purely for the aesthetic: strong lines that flow with the body and make the arm look structured.

Using lines of varying thickness to define shape and depth, linework tattoos achieve expression through economy. The absence of shading keeps the focus on the quality and flow of each stroke.

Forearm tattoos benefit from a natural canvas that follows the arm's long shape. Designs can wrap around the arm or sit on the inner or outer surface, giving flexibility in how the tattoo is displayed.
