Inspired by 1940s and 1950s burlesque fashion, these designs recreate the look of thigh-high hosiery complete with garter belts, seams, lace tops, and bow accents. The result is a bold body-art statement that blends vintage glamour with tattoo craftsmanship.

Using lines of varying thickness to define shape and depth, linework tattoos achieve expression through economy. The absence of shading keeps the focus on the quality and flow of each stroke.

The chest is a bold placement choice that stays mostly concealed under clothing. Its proximity to the heart makes it a popular spot for meaningful symbols, text, and portrait work.
