Ornamental scorpion tattoo
Armoured, precise and permanently ready. The scorpion's segmented body suits geometric and tribal abstraction as naturally as realism. 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 scorpion carries defence, scorpio zodiac, danger respected — and Ornamental's symmetry give that symbolism its voice. Placement matters too: this subject flows best on the hand, shoulder, calf.
