Islam Tattoo Photo #20533

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.

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.
