Tattoo equipment includes the machines, needles, inks, and supplies that artists use to create permanent body art. Understanding the basics helps clients appreciate the craft and make informed decisions about where to get tattooed.

Combining the strong linework of traditional tattooing with contemporary shading and color theory, neo-traditional pieces feel both familiar and fresh. The style allows for more realistic proportions while keeping the iconic bold look.

Forearm tattoos benefit from a natural canvas that follows the arm's long shape. Designs can wrap around the arm or sit on the inner or outer surface, giving flexibility in how the tattoo is displayed.
