Why a sword tattoo?
Strength, honour and cutting away what no longer serves you. A straight blade runs beautifully down a forearm or spine, and blackwork gives it real weight. Every design you make here is yours to refine as many times as you like until it feels right — change the pose, the detail or the colour, and lock in the version you love.
