The unfurling parchment creates a natural frame for names, quotes, dates, and mottos, making it one of the most personalized tattoo formats. Style options range from ornate Renaissance calligraphy to stripped-down sailor-flash ribbons.

Blackwork tattoos use solid black ink in bold, graphic compositions. The style ranges from large filled areas and heavy patterns to intricate designs that rely on contrast between ink and bare skin.

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.
