Ram Powered by the Stars
This tattoo pays tribute to Nevada’s rugged wilderness through the eyes of the cosmos. At its core, the majestic bighorn — Nevada’s state animal — stands boldly within a celestial compass, merging the wild with the vast unknown. Created in Las Vegas using the Celestial Ascent design as a base, this piece captures the beauty of nature and the pull of time and space. At 1MM Tattoo, we approach each custom design with intention, precision, and storytelling — always looking to elevate symbols into timeless art on skin.

Bonus: The Bighorn’s Compass – A Tale of Desert Stars
Long ago, in the heart of Nevada’s red canyons, a lone bighorn looked up to the night sky. Unlike others in his herd, he wasn’t content with grazing and climbing — he felt drawn to the stars. One twilight, he followed a beam of moonlight that spiraled like a compass into the sky. Each hoofstep echoed with stardust as he ascended into the cosmos, finding a celestial gate marked by sunbeams and orbit lines.
There, he became the guardian of lost travelers — a silent guide who knew every desert wind and starlit trail. They say when you’re lost in thought or life, his horns align with the constellations and point you back to your true path. Some who wander Nevada’s canyons swear they’ve seen a shimmer in the stars — a sign that the Stellar Bighorn is still watching, still guiding.
