Snake Tattoo Photo #2607

Across cultures the serpent represents transformation through shedding skin, healing through the caduceus, temptation in Judeo-Christian tradition, and kundalini energy in Hindu philosophy. The snake's flexible body also wraps naturally around limbs, making it an ideal organic tattoo subject.

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.

A spine tattoo draws attention to the body's natural symmetry, creating a bold centerline that works well with flowing or geometric designs. The placement is dramatic and easily hidden under clothing.
