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.

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.
