Dragonfly Tattoo Photo #2977

Fairy-themed elements can add a magical quality to the composition. The insect's shape suits fine-line and illustrative styles particularly well.

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.
