Around knee tattoo is a tattoo that spans the entire inside of your knee. It is usually done with a needle and then covered in a gold or silver metal thread. The thread is a symbol of the sun that stands for the element of fire, the sun in the center of the earth, and the sun in the center of the heavens.

Around knee tattoos are known as “knee tattoos” because they are usually done in the late afternoon where the sun is shining directly down on the body. A knee tattoo is also known as “salt and pepper” because the ink is usually a white or yellowish green powder.
