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.

With thick black outlines and flat, saturated colors, traditional tattoos are built to last. The straightforward approach prioritizes readability and impact, making these designs recognizable from a distance.

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.
