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.

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.
