For many people, it represents faith filtered through cultural identity-Christianity meeting older traditions. The ring has been interpreted as eternity, the sun, or the unity of earthly and spiritual realms.

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.

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.
