Katana Tattoo Photo #12527

The blade shape gives strong directional flow for placement. A katana can also symbolize protection or personal resolve, especially when paired with traditional motifs.

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.

The ribcage offers a private placement that only shows when the wearer chooses. Its curved surface adds dimension to designs, though the area is known for being one of the more sensitive spots to tattoo.
