People often choose it to represent grief, loss, farewell, or the end of something significant. But it can also symbolize strength through darkness, or a love that endures-sometimes paired with an angel for a memorial tone.

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.

Neck tattoos are among the most visible placements, making a confident statement. The area suits small, detailed designs behind the ear or bold pieces on the side or back of the neck.
