Band Tattoo Photo #19387

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.

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.
