Friendship Tattoo Photo #11678

Friendship tattoos work in two main ways: matching designs (the same symbol on both people) or complementary designs (two parts that make sense together). Complementary tattoos are often easier to keep subtle and personal, especially if you want something that does not look like a "trend.

Abstract tattoos break away from literal representation, using shapes, colors, and unconventional compositions to create expressive, non-figurative designs. The style prioritizes feeling and movement over realism.

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.
