Emblem Tattoo Photo #13281

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 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.
