Tiger Symbolism Across Cultures The tiger is one of the most powerful animals in body art, carrying centuries of symbolic weight across civilizations. In Chinese culture, the tiger is a celestial guardian representing bravery, authority, and protection.

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.

Forearm tattoos benefit from a natural canvas that follows the arm's long shape. Designs can wrap around the arm or sit on the inner or outer surface, giving flexibility in how the tattoo is displayed.
