There is something about a whale that makes people pause. Maybe it is the sheer size, or the way a forty-ton animal moves through the ocean with more grace than anything that large should have.

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.
