Camels survive deserts by storing resources and pacing themselves-qualities that translate into personal meaning for people who have pushed through difficult chapters or pride themselves on self-sufficiency. The camel reminds you that you can carry heavy loads across long distances without giving up.

Using lines of varying thickness to define shape and depth, linework tattoos achieve expression through economy. The absence of shading keeps the focus on the quality and flow of each stroke.

Calf tattoos benefit from a muscular canvas that gives designs depth and presence. The flat rear surface works well for portraits and detailed work, while wrapping designs follow the leg's natural shape.
