Ornamental eye tattoo
The all-seeing eye, the evil eye, a loved one's eye in realism — few motifs carry as much symbolic voltage per square centimetre. In Ornamental, that reads as: jewellery you can't take off.

Lace, filigree, chandelier drops and henna-inspired pattern work that decorates the body like jewellery. Ornamental designs are architectural — built symmetrically around the body's midlines — and pair beautifully with dotwork shading and gem motifs.
A eye carries protection (evil eye), awareness, truth — and Ornamental's symmetry give that symbolism its voice. Placement matters too: this subject flows best on the hand, forearm, sternum.
