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.

Watercolor tattoos use soft color gradients and flowing edges that mimic paint on paper. The technique avoids heavy outlines, letting colors blend naturally into the skin for a light, artistic appearance.

The shoulder's rounded shape gives tattoos a natural frame, wrapping designs around the deltoid muscle. It's a versatile placement that transitions easily into a sleeve or back piece.
