The rib cage is a painful part of the body to get tattooed since its a bony area. However, this does not seem to be a factor as a guy can be unique and edgy if he is sporting this kind of tat theme. Moreover, this part of the body can accommodate large and intricate design making it even more exciting especially for the tattoo artist who will render the chosen art.
The most common rib tattoos for guys when it comes to designs are animals like koi fish, dragon, snake and panther. Aside from the deeper and significant meaning that each of this animal possesses, they seem to be symbols of male masculinity and bravery as well. Another very popular ink design on the rib cage is the lettering or words, sometimes quotations or excerpts from songs or poems. There are also a lot of guys who go for words or phrases written in foreign language to be discreet such as kanji, sanskrit, italian or latin.
