" Drawing on Celtic knotwork or symmetrical patterns are popular starting points if you want an ornamental accent or a design that follows the body's lines. The key is flow: a decorative tattoo should look like it belongs on the placement you choose.

Blackwork tattoos use solid black ink in bold, graphic compositions. The style ranges from large filled areas and heavy patterns to intricate designs that rely on contrast between ink and bare skin.

The thigh offers one of the body's largest flat surfaces, making it ideal for detailed, large-scale tattoos. The area is easy to conceal and generally comfortable during the tattoo process.
