The scorpion appears in Zodiac symbolism, ancient mythology, and military insignia, giving the design layers of meaning beyond its intimidating appearance. Styles range from hyper-realistic to tribal and geometric.

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.
