Camel Tattoo Photo #20603

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.

Forearm tattoos benefit from a natural canvas that follows the arm's long shape. Designs can wrap around the arm or sit on the inner or outer surface, giving flexibility in how the tattoo is displayed.
