It is better to learn the specific tradition behind a motif before choosing it. Cultural context Japanese, Chinese, and other East Asian styles each have distinct symbols and rules.

Blackwork tattoos use solid black ink in bold, graphic compositions. The style ranges from large filled areas and heavy patterns to intricate designs that rely on contrast between ink and bare skin.

Neck tattoos are among the most visible placements, making a confident statement. The area suits small, detailed designs behind the ear or bold pieces on the side or back of the neck.
