Crown Tattoo Photo #1537

For some, a crown is a statement of confidence or leadership. For others, it honors achievement, survival, or a transition into a new chapter.

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.
