The story of the ugly duckling who becomes a swan resonates as a metaphor for personal growth. In mythology swans pull the chariots of gods, sing before death, and shift between human and animal form, giving the bird layers of meaning beyond its elegant appearance.

Geometric tattoos use precise lines, angles, and repeated shapes to form structured compositions. Symmetry and mathematical patterns give these designs a modern, architectural quality.

The shoulder's rounded shape gives tattoos a natural frame, wrapping designs around the deltoid muscle. It's a versatile placement that transitions easily into a sleeve or back piece.
