Wasp Tattoo Photo #18728

Bees get all the love - community, honey, golden warmth. The wasp gets respect instead: sharp, territorial, fearless relative to its size, and absolutely willing to sting more than once.

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.
