The artist played with the shapes in the wings so beautifully. Traditional Moth sourceĪmerican Traditional moth tattoos have to be some of my favorite traditional tattoos, and this artist shows you exactly why. The shading and line work is so delicate and fine – a real achievement. It almost looks like the moth is sitting on the client’s arm. I really love the tiny amount of detail captured in this tattoo.

Single-needle tattoos are notoriously difficult to do, but this artist knows how to do them perfectly. The line work is clean, and the black is saturated very well, and the placement is beautiful! 8. It almost looks like a little scientific drawing. I like that they chose to draw it with the wings closed, as this is something unique. This is such a sweet and simple moth tattoo.

Flames usually symbolize life, death, and creativity, which works perfectly with the moth’s symbol of change. The first thing that stands out to me on this tattoo is the flames around the moth – it reminds me of the song Moth to a Flame. The fine lines are immaculate and the placement is beautiful. I love the gentle use of white ink as a highlight and the soft dot work shading. This is such a flowing design for a moth!

I like the absence of strong line work in the actual moth, juxtaposed with the solid black circle in the background. I have a lot of respect for how clean this tattoo is – the sternum is a very difficult spot to tattoo as you not only have breathing to contend with, but also your client being in a lot of pain!

It fits the flow of the body perfectly, and this artist chose to incorporate a symmetrical natural element of ferns, leaves, and moons.
