Script Rib Tattoo

Script tattoo, quote tattoo, word tattoo, lettering tattoo or text tattoo, no matter what you call it is very popular design nowadays on the rib cage area. Texts are most commonly seen tattooed on the rib because it is a huge body canvas that can accommodate meaningful quotations and words that are enough to express the message that one wants to convey. From quotes, to poems, verses from the bible, lines from a favorite song, movie or book and personal composition, anything goes as long as its meaning is significant and personal to the tat enthusiast sporting it.

Over all, this is a very original and attractive piece of rib cage tattoo.
