The color black is often associated with power, mystery, elegance, and permanence. In tattoo culture, blackwork has become its own respected style, ranging from geometric patterns to full black-out coverage.

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.
