Helix Tattoo Photo #24375

The placement is inherently bold because it is always visible, impossible to hide with anything except hair, and small enough that every line matters. People choose helix tattoos when they want body art that functions almost like jewelry, a permanent accent that catches attention without demanding a large canvas.
