City tattoo meaning is often about memory and identity, like carrying a skyline or coordinates as a quiet signature. Some people mark the city where they found love, started a career, or overcame difficulty.

With thick black outlines and flat, saturated colors, traditional tattoos are built to last. The straightforward approach prioritizes readability and impact, making these designs recognizable from a distance.

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.
