Detailed Sketch Tattoo

With big tattoos, you can fit it more intricate detail. Painted, drawn and sketched designs can show brushwork and pencil lines, for a really cool effect.

Religious Chest Tattoo

Your chest is a good spot for a large tattoo – it also covers your heart and lungs, so it’s a good place to tattoo meaningful symbols.

Avant Garde Side Body Tattoo

The bright colors and fluid lines – what’s not to love? This side body tatt also works across your chest or vertically down your back.

Detailed Back Tattoo

The compass with meaningful quotes – a nice design. It spreads across your back, giving the illusion of a large tattoo… but it’s quicker to get inked!
