Body art Tattoo Photo #22383

Unlike tattoos designed purely for symbolism, body art focuses on visual impact, composition, and creative technique. The goal is often to create something that looks like a painting, sculpture, or fine art piece-but permanent.

Inspired by jewelry, architecture, and textile patterns, ornamental tattoos create intricate, decorative compositions on the skin. Precision and symmetry are key, giving these pieces an almost meditative quality.

The ribcage offers a private placement that only shows when the wearer chooses. Its curved surface adds dimension to designs, though the area is known for being one of the more sensitive spots to tattoo.
