Mole Tattoo Photo #10207

Despite sharing the order Lepidoptera with butterflies, moths occupy their own symbolic territory: nocturnal, mysterious, drawn to light, and quietly beautiful in muted tones. As body art, a moth represents the parts of life that happen in the dark, the transformations no one else sees, and the instinct to seek brightness even when the path is uncertain.

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 wrist offers a compact area that suits fine-line work, small symbols, and script. Its visibility means the tattoo becomes part of daily life, always in the wearer's line of sight.
