Flag Tattoo Photo #22472

A flag tattoo usually works best when it stands for something specific in your life: where you come from, what you support, a place you lived, a team you follow, or a value you want to carry with you. Before choosing a design, decide whether you want a clear, recognizable flag or a more personal interpretation that only you understand.

Blackwork tattoos use solid black ink in bold, graphic compositions. The style ranges from large filled areas and heavy patterns to intricate designs that rely on contrast between ink and bare skin.

The upper arm is a classic tattoo placement with enough space for medium to large designs. It's easy to cover with a short sleeve and serves as a natural starting point for a half or full sleeve.
