The imagery draws on centuries of martial tradition, from Roman legionary marks to modern dog tag designs. Whether worn by veterans or family members, these tattoos carry deep personal weight.

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 back provides the largest continuous canvas on the body, ideal for detailed scenes and large-scale compositions. Upper back pieces are easy to conceal, while full-back tattoos make a dramatic statement.
