Group Tattoo Photo #17931

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.

The ribcage offers a private placement that only shows when the wearer chooses. Its curved surface adds dimension to designs, though the area is known for being one of the more sensitive spots to tattoo.
