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?

Fine-line tattoos use a single thin needle to create delicate, precise designs with minimal line weight. The result is a subtle, almost sketch-like quality that suits detailed small-scale work.

Ankle tattoos are subtle and easy to conceal with socks or footwear. The small canvas works best with compact designs, bands, or wrapping patterns that follow the joint's shape.
