Cobra Tattoo Photo #9023

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.

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.
