The leg offers a large area for detail or a subtle placement for smaller pieces. Thigh, calf, or shin Thigh placements allow larger designs and softer curves, while calves suit vertical compositions.

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 collarbone's clean horizontal line provides a natural guide for elongated designs. This placement adds a subtle accent to the upper body and works especially well with fine-line and minimalist styles.
