Griffin symbolism in mythology The griffin is a mythical creature combining the body of a lion with the head and wings of an eagle. It represents power, protection, and vigilance-the lion's strength paired with the eagle's keen vision.

Abstract tattoos break away from literal representation, using shapes, colors, and unconventional compositions to create expressive, non-figurative designs. The style prioritizes feeling and movement over realism.

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.
