Flame Tattoo Photo #22197

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.

Calf tattoos benefit from a muscular canvas that gives designs depth and presence. The flat rear surface works well for portraits and detailed work, while wrapping designs follow the leg's natural shape.
