Rooted in ancient Chinese philosophy, the symbol reminds its wearer that harmony comes from accepting both sides rather than choosing one. What does a yin yang tattoo mean?

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.

Calf tattoos benefit from a muscular canvas that gives designs depth and presence. The flat rear surface works well for portraits and detailed work, while wrapping designs follow the leg's natural shape.
