Common imagery includes crosses, crucifixes, doves, fish (ichthys), angels, praying hands, rosaries, sacred hearts, and depictions of Christ or saints. Scripture verses and religious phrases also appear frequently.

Originating from centuries-old cultural practices, tribal designs carry symbolic weight through their patterns and placement. Modern tribal tattoos adapt these traditional motifs into contemporary compositions that honor the style's heritage.

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.
