Biomechanics Tattoo Photo #9441

The style became popular in the 1980s and gained wider recognition in the early 2000s, partly inspired by the work of artist H. R.

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 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.
