Blackwork is black ink only — no colour, no grey wash — used for everything from bold graphic shapes to impossibly fine ornamental lacework. It is precise, graphic and endlessly versatile, covering ornamental, illustrative, tribal and pattern-based work.
Designing a full leg
A full leg from hip to ankle is a huge, mostly cylindrical canvas — excellent for flowing compositions and large subjects. Plan focal points on the thigh and calf, and let the design wrap continuously around the knee.
- Pain
- The shin, behind the knee and inner thigh are tender; the outer thigh and calf are comfortable.
- Scope
- A long-term project built over many sessions.

- Blackwork scales both ways — a fine ornamental piece on the sternum or a dense full sleeve.
