Emblem Tattoo Photo #13243

Clean pattern work helps emblem lines stay crisp. Unlike a random decorative pattern, an emblem is meant to be recognized, even if only you understand the full story behind it.

Using lines of varying thickness to define shape and depth, linework tattoos achieve expression through economy. The absence of shading keeps the focus on the quality and flow of each stroke.

The collarbone's clean horizontal line provides a natural guide for elongated designs. This placement adds a subtle accent to the upper body and works especially well with fine-line and minimalist styles.
