Weapons Tattoo Photo #18152

Swords, daggers, axes, and shields have been symbols of honor, justice, sacrifice, and craftsmanship for thousands of years. The meaning depends on the weapon you choose, how you frame it, and what personal story you attach to the steel.

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.
