Group Tattoo Photo #17899

Group tattoos: matching vs complementary Group tattoos work best when you choose one of two paths: matching (everyone gets the same design) or complementary (each tattoo is different but clearly part of one set). Matching is simple and bold; complementary is more personal and often looks better in photos.

Using lines of varying thickness to define shape and depth, linework tattoos achieve expression through economy. The absence of shading keeps the focus on the quality and flow of each stroke.

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.
