The style mixes graffiti, comic art, and pop culture for a playful, bold look. Motifs that work well Characters, animals, toys, and food icons are common because they allow for big eyes, oversized features, and dramatic expressions.

Inspired by jewelry, architecture, and textile patterns, ornamental tattoos create intricate, decorative compositions on the skin. Precision and symmetry are key, giving these pieces an almost meditative quality.

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.
