The color black is often associated with power, mystery, elegance, and permanence. In tattoo culture, blackwork has become its own respected style, ranging from geometric patterns to full black-out coverage.

Inspired by jewelry, architecture, and textile patterns, ornamental tattoos create intricate, decorative compositions on the skin. Precision and symmetry are key, giving these pieces an almost meditative quality.

A spine tattoo draws attention to the body's natural symmetry, creating a bold centerline that works well with flowing or geometric designs. The placement is dramatic and easily hidden under clothing.
