Stockings Tattoo Photo #18001

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 only black ink at different dilutions, this style achieves a photographic quality with rich shadows and soft highlights. Black and grey work is versatile enough for portraits, nature scenes, and symbolic imagery.

The ribcage offers a private placement that only shows when the wearer chooses. Its curved surface adds dimension to designs, though the area is known for being one of the more sensitive spots to tattoo.
