A bow can symbolize elegance, gifts, celebration, or simply serve as a pretty accent. For some, it represents tying things together-relationships, memories, or chapters of life.

Combining the strong linework of traditional tattooing with contemporary shading and color theory, neo-traditional pieces feel both familiar and fresh. The style allows for more realistic proportions while keeping the iconic bold look.

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.
