Group Tattoo Photo #17917

Group tattoos: matching vs complementary Group tattoos work best when you choose one of two paths: matching (everyone gets the same design) or complementary (each tattoo is different but clearly part of one set). Matching is simple and bold; complementary is more personal and often looks better in photos.

Originating from centuries-old cultural practices, tribal designs carry symbolic weight through their patterns and placement. Modern tribal tattoos adapt these traditional motifs into contemporary compositions that honor the style's heritage.

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.
