Cerberus Tattoo Photo #7307

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 collarbone's clean horizontal line provides a natural guide for elongated designs. This placement adds a subtle accent to the upper body and works especially well with fine-line and minimalist styles.
