Neon Tattoo Photo #4577

The contrast between light and shadow is what sells the effect on skin. A tight, consistent outline helps the glow read as intentional rather than fuzzy.

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.

The collarbone's clean horizontal line provides a natural guide for elongated designs. This placement adds a subtle accent to the upper body and works especially well with fine-line and minimalist styles.
