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?

Abstract tattoos break away from literal representation, using shapes, colors, and unconventional compositions to create expressive, non-figurative designs. The style prioritizes feeling and movement over realism.

The back provides the largest continuous canvas on the body, ideal for detailed scenes and large-scale compositions. Upper back pieces are easy to conceal, while full-back tattoos make a dramatic statement.
