Flame Tattoo Photo #22203

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.

The collarbone's clean horizontal line provides a natural guide for elongated designs. This placement adds a subtle accent to the upper body and works especially well with fine-line and minimalist styles.
