Space Tattoo Photo #4888

Galaxies, nebulae, planets, and astronauts offer a visual language for themes of exploration, wonder, and humanity's smallness against the universe. Advances in color tattooing make it possible to capture the depth and luminosity of deep space on skin.

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 upper arm is a classic tattoo placement with enough space for medium to large designs. It's easy to cover with a short sleeve and serves as a natural starting point for a half or full sleeve.
