Always wait until the skin is fully healed and follow medical advice before tattooing. When to tattoo a scar Most artists recommend waiting until the scar is flat, pale, and stable.

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.

Calf tattoos benefit from a muscular canvas that gives designs depth and presence. The flat rear surface works well for portraits and detailed work, while wrapping designs follow the leg's natural shape.
