Illustrative sun & moon tattoo
Opposites in orbit: day and night, logic and intuition, two people in one design. A favourite for matching tattoos and fine-line minimalism. In Illustrative, that reads as: storybook ink.

The middle ground between traditional and realism: drawn rather than photographed, with linework carrying the form and shading adding mood. Illustrative is the most flexible style in tattooing — it absorbs botanical, animal, narrative and abstract subjects equally well.
A sun & moon carries balance of opposites, duality, partnership — and Illustrative's drawn quality give that symbolism its voice. Placement matters too: this subject flows best on the wrist, ankle, spine.
