Spqr Tattoo Photo #19765

SPQR stands for Senatus Populusque Romanus-the Senate and People of Rome. The motto appeared on Roman standards, coins, and public buildings as a declaration of civic identity.

Combining the strong linework of traditional tattooing with contemporary shading and color theory, neo-traditional pieces feel both familiar and fresh. The style allows for more realistic proportions while keeping the iconic bold look.

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.
