People often choose it to represent grief, loss, farewell, or the end of something significant. But it can also symbolize strength through darkness, or a love that endures-sometimes paired with an angel for a memorial tone.

Inspired by jewelry, architecture, and textile patterns, ornamental tattoos create intricate, decorative compositions on the skin. Precision and symmetry are key, giving these pieces an almost meditative quality.

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.
