Tattoos with Islamic themes most often feature Arabic calligraphy, geometric patterns, and symbols drawn from Middle Eastern art and architecture. The relationship between tattoos and Islam is complex since traditional Islamic teaching generally discourages permanent body modification, but interest in Arabic-script tattoos and Islamic geometric art continues to grow worldwide.

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.
