Crystal Tattoo Photo #6785

Different crystals have different associations: quartz for clarity and amplification, amethyst for intuition and calm, rose quartz for love, obsidian for protection. You don't need to believe in crystal healing to appreciate the aesthetic-the geometric facets and light-catching shapes make striking tattoo designs.

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.

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.
