Equipment Tattoo Photo #6218

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.

Sketch-style tattoos replicate the look of pencil or pen drawings, often including visible construction lines and loose strokes. The intentionally unfinished quality gives the design an artistic, work-in-progress feel.

The upper arm is a classic tattoo placement with enough space for medium to large designs. It's easy to cover with a short sleeve and serves as a natural starting point for a half or full sleeve.
