Celebrity Tattoo Photo #3217

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.

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.
