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.

Inspired by jewelry, architecture, and textile patterns, ornamental tattoos create intricate, decorative compositions on the skin. Precision and symmetry are key, giving these pieces an almost meditative quality.

The ribcage offers a private placement that only shows when the wearer chooses. Its curved surface adds dimension to designs, though the area is known for being one of the more sensitive spots to tattoo.
