Body art Tattoo Photo #22369

Unlike tattoos designed purely for symbolism, body art focuses on visual impact, composition, and creative technique. The goal is often to create something that looks like a painting, sculpture, or fine art piece-but permanent.

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.

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.
