Sharp Dagger and Knife Tattoos
Knife and dagger tattoos are among the best themes to work with other props, or even as standalone when they look great by themselves.
There is a recurring narrative of hearts with daggers, apparently with idea that someone had been stabbed their by someone they were close to.
Others are associated with skulls and other interesting paraphernalia, as the knife and dagger, because of their shape, along with being able to be made to look ornate from the handles or something inscribed on them, work with a wide variety of other themes.
Incredibly, there are a large number of people that are enamored with knives and daggers, and that lends itself to a very popular group of tattoos which cater to that popularity.
For that and many other reasons, there are a plethora of tattoos you can choose from to enjoy looking at or get as an inspiration to be inked on one's own body.

The first knife or dagger tattoo directly below reveals how good it can look standalone, based on an ornate design. Normally I enjoy back tattoos, but with this being a narrow subject, the back almost makes it look too lonely. Eventually something else will have to be added to do it justice.

I included this knife tattoo because of the oddity of it. I would think the message on the knife has some importance to the one with the tattoo, as the knife itself is a strange choice in light of the other quality designs that could have been chosen. Usually that means it must be something personal and not making an aesthetic statement.

This is just too cool. This dagger through the clear dice tattoo is absolutely compelling to me. When I first glanced at the image I thought there was a mistake or the tattoo hadn't been completed yet.
