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?

Minimalist tattoos use clean lines and open space to convey meaning with as few elements as possible. The restrained approach keeps the focus on shape and composition rather than detail.

The inner arm offers a soft, relatively flat surface that suits detailed and sensitive designs. It's a semi-private placement, visible only when the arm is turned or raised.
