Common motifs include geometric grids, mandalas, and tessellations. This guide covers style, placement, and practical design choices for geometric grids.

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.
