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.

Abstract tattoos break away from literal representation, using shapes, colors, and unconventional compositions to create expressive, non-figurative designs. The style prioritizes feeling and movement over realism.

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.
