Decorative Tattoo Photo #13178

" 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 inner arm offers a soft, relatively flat surface that suits detailed and sensitive designs. It's a semi-private placement, visible only when the arm is turned or raised.
