Keep it simple

Two solid black triangular forms create this compact forearm tattoo. Their edges face one another across a narrow strip of bare skin. With no shading or surrounding decoration, the shape of that gap becomes as noticeable as the black areas themselves.

The pair sits close to the wrist and follows the direction of the arm. One form is broader and shorter, while the other extends into a longer point. That difference gives a small design a sense of direction, using only silhouette, proportion, and contrast.
