Group Tattoo Photo #17912

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.

Blackwork tattoos use solid black ink in bold, graphic compositions. The style ranges from large filled areas and heavy patterns to intricate designs that rely on contrast between ink and bare skin.

Ankle tattoos are subtle and easy to conceal with socks or footwear. The small canvas works best with compact designs, bands, or wrapping patterns that follow the joint's shape.
