The cobra's hood display is a warning signal-a cobra tattoo can mean you're ready to defend yourself or those you protect. In some traditions, cobras guard temples and treasures.

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.

The chest is a bold placement choice that stays mostly concealed under clothing. Its proximity to the heart makes it a popular spot for meaningful symbols, text, and portrait work.
