Description

Bold, cheeky, and packed with meaning—this vibrant magnet brings a slice of Caribbean wisdom to your space with a playful twist. Featuring the iconic Bajan saying “The higher the monkey climbs, the more he shows his tail,” this piece is a colorful reminder that pride comes before the fall.

But there’s more to it than just a warning about arrogance. This proverb is a witty truth bomb about authenticity, ego, and exposure. The higher someone rises—whether in status, fame, or confidence—the more visible their flaws become. As people push themselves into the spotlight, their true nature can’t help but shine through… for better or worse. It’s a nudge to stay grounded, be real, and know that what’s hidden at the bottom of the tree might just be on full display at the top.

Perfect for your fridge, locker, or studio wall, this eye-catching magnet combines hand-painted detail with a universal truth: the more someone shows off, the more their true self is revealed. Whether you see it as a funny jab or a gentle reminder to stay humble, it’s a saying that sticks—literally and figuratively.
