Name tattoos are deeply personal, so the design should match the relationship and the emotion you want to carry. A playful script feels different from elegant calligraphy; bold block letters feel different from delicate fine-line work.
Using lines of varying thickness to define shape and depth, linework tattoos achieve expression through economy. The absence of shading keeps the focus on the quality and flow of each stroke.
Calf tattoos benefit from a muscular canvas that gives designs depth and presence. The flat rear surface works well for portraits and detailed work, while wrapping designs follow the leg's natural shape.
