Whale Tattoo Photo #19428

There is something about a whale that makes people pause. Maybe it is the sheer size, or the way a forty-ton animal moves through the ocean with more grace than anything that large should have.

Fine-line tattoos use a single thin needle to create delicate, precise designs with minimal line weight. The result is a subtle, almost sketch-like quality that suits detailed small-scale work.

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.
