Some people choose specific verses-often displayed as a decorative scroll-that mark a turning point in their life. Others use symbolic imagery-crosses, doves, fish symbols, or hands in prayer-to represent their beliefs without explicit text.

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.

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.
