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.

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.
