What Themis Represents Themis is the Greek titaness of divine law, order, and justice. Unlike her Roman counterpart Justitia, Themis was originally depicted without a blindfold, seeing truth clearly rather than relying on impartiality alone.

Using only black ink at different dilutions, this style achieves a photographic quality with rich shadows and soft highlights. Black and grey work is versatile enough for portraits, nature scenes, and symbolic imagery.

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.
