Wasp Tattoo Photo #18737

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.

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.

The chest is a bold placement choice that stays mostly concealed under clothing. Its proximity to the heart makes it a popular spot for meaningful symbols, text, and portrait work.
