Common motifs include flags, eagles, crests, and commemorative dates. This guide covers style, placement, and practical design choices for flags and crests.

Minimalist tattoos use clean lines and open space to convey meaning with as few elements as possible. The restrained approach keeps the focus on shape and composition rather than detail.

The shoulder's rounded shape gives tattoos a natural frame, wrapping designs around the deltoid muscle. It's a versatile placement that transitions easily into a sleeve or back piece.
