Band Tattoo Photo #19373

Some people use band tattoos to mark a milestone or represent boundaries and strength. Others choose them purely for the aesthetic: strong lines that flow with the body and make the arm look structured.

Originating from centuries-old cultural practices, tribal designs carry symbolic weight through their patterns and placement. Modern tribal tattoos adapt these traditional motifs into contemporary compositions that honor the style's heritage.

The ribcage offers a private placement that only shows when the wearer chooses. Its curved surface adds dimension to designs, though the area is known for being one of the more sensitive spots to tattoo.
