Knife Tattoo Photo #14373

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.

Combining the strong linework of traditional tattooing with contemporary shading and color theory, neo-traditional pieces feel both familiar and fresh. The style allows for more realistic proportions while keeping the iconic bold look.

Forearm tattoos benefit from a natural canvas that follows the arm's long shape. Designs can wrap around the arm or sit on the inner or outer surface, giving flexibility in how the tattoo is displayed.
