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.

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.
