Whale Tattoo Photo #19407

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.

Inspired by jewelry, architecture, and textile patterns, ornamental tattoos create intricate, decorative compositions on the skin. Precision and symmetry are key, giving these pieces an almost meditative quality.

A spine tattoo draws attention to the body's natural symmetry, creating a bold centerline that works well with flowing or geometric designs. The placement is dramatic and easily hidden under clothing.
