Many people connect it to endurance, resilience, and the ability to keep going through difficult seasons without losing your center. Visually, it's also a strong subject: the head shape, horns, and heavy silhouette make a buffalo design easy to recognize and hard to forget.

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.

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.
