Boar Tattoo Photo #16235

A boar is often associated with courage, toughness, and the willingness to push forward even when the path is rough. For some people it's a "fighter" motif; for others it's simply a bold creature with fierce energy and a strong silhouette and intense expression.

Using lines of varying thickness to define shape and depth, linework tattoos achieve expression through economy. The absence of shading keeps the focus on the quality and flow of each stroke.

Forearm tattoos benefit from a natural canvas that follows the arm's long shape. Designs can wrap around the arm or sit on the inner or outer surface, giving flexibility in how the tattoo is displayed.
