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.

Blackwork tattoos use solid black ink in bold, graphic compositions. The style ranges from large filled areas and heavy patterns to intricate designs that rely on contrast between ink and bare skin.

The inner arm offers a soft, relatively flat surface that suits detailed and sensitive designs. It's a semi-private placement, visible only when the arm is turned or raised.
