Shirt Tattoo Photo #18325

The style has roots in Japanese irezumi bodysuits and modern chest-panel compositions. Planning a shirt tattoo requires careful thought about symmetry, session count, and long-term coherence.

Combining the strong linework of traditional tattooing with contemporary shading and color theory, neo-traditional pieces feel both familiar and fresh. The style allows for more realistic proportions while keeping the iconic bold look.

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.
