Instead of dark lines on skin, you get a raised, almost embossed pattern that only reveals itself up close or under the right light. The effect is closer to a scar or a watermark than a conventional tattoo, and that subtlety is exactly the point for people who want ink that does not announce itself to the room.

Inspired by jewelry, architecture, and textile patterns, ornamental tattoos create intricate, decorative compositions on the skin. Precision and symmetry are key, giving these pieces an almost meditative quality.

A spine tattoo draws attention to the body's natural symmetry, creating a bold centerline that works well with flowing or geometric designs. The placement is dramatic and easily hidden under clothing.
