Subtle shading gives depth to the swirling floral motif in this upper back tattoo. Dark grey/black ink outlines delicate petals and leaf-like extensions, creating a refined fine-line aesthetic. Partial sleeve work with botanical imagery extends adjacent to the right shoulder.

Considering your first piece on your back? Fine line tattoos are popular for smaller designs like this (size: xs), but require careful artist selection due to detail. Back placement offers a relatively flat canvas, though pain levels can vary. Prioritize aftercare and research reputable artists specializing in fine-line work.
