Military body art is one of the oldest and most meaningful categories in the history of permanent marking. From ancient tribal warriors to modern special operations forces, the practice has served as identification, protection, morale, and memorial across nearly every armed conflict in recorded history.

Blackwork tattoos use solid black ink in bold, graphic compositions. The style ranges from large filled areas and heavy patterns to intricate designs that rely on contrast between ink and bare skin.

Neck tattoos are among the most visible placements, making a confident statement. The area suits small, detailed designs behind the ear or bold pieces on the side or back of the neck.
