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.

Combining the strong linework of traditional tattooing with contemporary shading and color theory, neo-traditional pieces feel both familiar and fresh. The style allows for more realistic proportions while keeping the iconic bold look.

The chest is a bold placement choice that stays mostly concealed under clothing. Its proximity to the heart makes it a popular spot for meaningful symbols, text, and portrait work.
