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.

Watercolor tattoos use soft color gradients and flowing edges that mimic paint on paper. The technique avoids heavy outlines, letting colors blend naturally into the skin for a light, artistic appearance.

The inner arm offers a soft, relatively flat surface that suits detailed and sensitive designs. It's a semi-private placement, visible only when the arm is turned or raised.
