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.

Achieving lifelike results in skin requires mastery of light, shadow, and color blending. Realistic tattoos often look three-dimensional, with subjects appearing to emerge from the skin surface.

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.
