Stork Tattoo Photo #18277

The stork carries rich symbolism tied to birth, spring, and family bonds. Across European folklore the bird delivers newborns to waiting parents, making it one of the most emotionally direct tattoo subjects.

Calf tattoos benefit from a muscular canvas that gives designs depth and presence. The flat rear surface works well for portraits and detailed work, while wrapping designs follow the leg's natural shape.
