Cerberus Tattoo Photo #7291
As a tattoo, it's often used to represent protection, boundaries, and fierce loyalty-guarding what matters to you. Depending on the style, it can feel like a protective "guardian" symbol or a darker story about fear faced head-on.
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.
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.
