Weapons Tattoo Photo #18141
Swords, daggers, axes, and shields have been symbols of honor, justice, sacrifice, and craftsmanship for thousands of years. The meaning depends on the weapon you choose, how you frame it, and what personal story you attach to the steel.
Originating from centuries-old cultural practices, tribal designs carry symbolic weight through their patterns and placement. Modern tribal tattoos adapt these traditional motifs into contemporary compositions that honor the style's heritage.
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.
