Baby Tattoo Photo #5907

For many parents, it's a quiet symbol of love and responsibility. For others, it's a way to honor family-sometimes as a joyful birth piece, and sometimes as a an act of love.

The collarbone's clean horizontal line provides a natural guide for elongated designs. This placement adds a subtle accent to the upper body and works especially well with fine-line and minimalist styles.
