Neck Tattoo Photo #23121

The skin moves a lot, which means linework and shading need to be intentional. Think about sun exposure and daily clothing friction, because the neck gets a lot of wear.

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.

Calf tattoos benefit from a muscular canvas that gives designs depth and presence. The flat rear surface works well for portraits and detailed work, while wrapping designs follow the leg's natural shape.
