Flame Tattoo Photo #22192

Flame styles and patterns If you like bold energy and color, psychedelic styles are another option. Classic flames use traditional tattoo shapes-bold, curving tongues of fire with clear outlines.

Watercolor tattoos use soft color gradients and flowing edges that mimic paint on paper. The technique avoids heavy outlines, letting colors blend naturally into the skin for a light, artistic appearance.

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.
