Ornamental tiger tattoo
Raw power with perfect stripes. The tiger dominates Japanese and realism traditions alike — its face demands technical excellence and rewards it doubly. 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 tiger carries strength, courage against evil, passion — and Ornamental's symmetry give that symbolism its voice. Placement matters too: this subject flows best on the upper arm / bicep, back, thigh.
