Hedgehog Tattoo Photo #15318

That combination of warmth and defense makes the hedgehog a surprisingly layered symbol, one that can represent setting boundaries, quiet courage, or simply a love for the small creatures of the forest floor. Unlike flashier animal choices, a hedgehog tattoo tends to feel personal and understated, which is often the whole point.

Geometric tattoos use precise lines, angles, and repeated shapes to form structured compositions. Symmetry and mathematical patterns give these designs a modern, architectural quality.

The upper arm is a classic tattoo placement with enough space for medium to large designs. It's easy to cover with a short sleeve and serves as a natural starting point for a half or full sleeve.
