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.

With thick black outlines and flat, saturated colors, traditional tattoos are built to last. The straightforward approach prioritizes readability and impact, making these designs recognizable from a distance.

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.
