The style uses fine parallel lines, crosshatching, and high contrast to create depth and texture-a distinctive form of art tattoo that appeals to people who love antique illustration. What is the engraved tattoo style?

With thick black outlines and flat, saturated colors, traditional tattoos are built to last. The straightforward approach prioritizes readability and impact, making these designs recognizable from a distance.

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.
