Flag Tattoo Photo #22481

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.

Using only black ink at different dilutions, this style achieves a photographic quality with rich shadows and soft highlights. Black and grey work is versatile enough for portraits, nature scenes, and symbolic imagery.

The ribcage offers a private placement that only shows when the wearer chooses. Its curved surface adds dimension to designs, though the area is known for being one of the more sensitive spots to tattoo.
