Common motifs include safety pins, enamel pin icons, and thread. This guide covers style, placement, and practical design choices for safety pins.

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.

The shoulder's rounded shape gives tattoos a natural frame, wrapping designs around the deltoid muscle. It's a versatile placement that transitions easily into a sleeve or back piece.
