The blade form gives a strong, direct visual that can feel both elegant and dangerous. A knife can also represent cutting ties or defending boundaries, so it is important to choose the tone you want.

Fine-line tattoos use a single thin needle to create delicate, precise designs with minimal line weight. The result is a subtle, almost sketch-like quality that suits detailed small-scale work.

The upper arm is a classic tattoo placement with enough space for medium to large designs. It's easy to cover with a short sleeve and serves as a natural starting point for a half or full sleeve.
