Ivy is one of the most enduring plants in nature: evergreen, climbing, and nearly impossible to stop once it takes hold. As a tattoo subject, ivy carries meanings of immortality, loyalty, friendship, and quiet persistence.

Combining the strong linework of traditional tattooing with contemporary shading and color theory, neo-traditional pieces feel both familiar and fresh. The style allows for more realistic proportions while keeping the iconic bold look.

Forearm tattoos benefit from a natural canvas that follows the arm's long shape. Designs can wrap around the arm or sit on the inner or outer surface, giving flexibility in how the tattoo is displayed.
