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.

Using only black ink at different dilutions, this style achieves a photographic quality with rich shadows and soft highlights. Black and grey work is versatile enough for portraits, nature scenes, and symbolic imagery.

The wrist offers a compact area that suits fine-line work, small symbols, and script. Its visibility means the tattoo becomes part of daily life, always in the wearer's line of sight.
