Sheep Tattoo Photo #9853

From biblical lamb symbolism to the rebellious black sheep, the animal adapts to both sweet and subversive interpretations. The woolly texture and expressive face give artists plenty of room to create distinctive, character-driven pieces.

Originating from centuries-old cultural practices, tribal designs carry symbolic weight through their patterns and placement. Modern tribal tattoos adapt these traditional motifs into contemporary compositions that honor the style's heritage.

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.
