01

Fine line and minimal

Light, precise work suits symbols, names, botanicals and small personal ideas when the design is kept clear and appropriately scaled.

02

Realism and portrait

Realism uses contrast, texture and detailed shading. Strong references and a suitable placement matter for a portrait or detailed subject.

03

Mandala and geometric

These styles depend on proportion, symmetry and placement. They are especially effective when aligned to the body’s natural centre lines.

04

Blackwork and cover-up

Bold black shapes and contrast can create powerful graphic work and may offer useful options when planning a cover-up.
