Decorative Tattoo Photo #13162

" 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.

Sketch-style tattoos replicate the look of pencil or pen drawings, often including visible construction lines and loose strokes. The intentionally unfinished quality gives the design an artistic, work-in-progress feel.

The upper arm is a classic tattoo placement with enough space for medium to large designs. It's easy to cover with a short sleeve and serves as a natural starting point for a half or full sleeve.
