Winner Tattoo Photo #15899

The victory it celebrates can be finishing a marathon, getting sober, walking away from a toxic situation, or simply surviving a year that tried to break you. The tattoo turns an invisible achievement into something you can see and touch every day.

Using lines of varying thickness to define shape and depth, linework tattoos achieve expression through economy. The absence of shading keeps the focus on the quality and flow of each stroke.

Forearm tattoos benefit from a natural canvas that follows the arm's long shape. Designs can wrap around the arm or sit on the inner or outer surface, giving flexibility in how the tattoo is displayed.
