Celebrity Tattoo Photo #3201

Use famous tattoos as starting points: notice what styles appeal to you, what placements work for different body types, and how simple or complex designs translate on skin. Then work with your artist to create something personal.

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.
