The same symbol can look subtle on one area (like an ankle) and dramatic on another (like a forearm). A good placement choice makes the tattoo readable, fits your lifestyle, and supports the story you want the tattoo to tell.

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 chest is a bold placement choice that stays mostly concealed under clothing. Its proximity to the heart makes it a popular spot for meaningful symbols, text, and portrait work.
