Mask Tattoo Photo #6533

Masks have fascinated humans for millennia because they sit at the intersection of identity and illusion, revealing as much as they conceal. As body art, a mask design raises questions about who we are underneath, who we perform as in public, and whether the difference between the two even matters.

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.
