Shirt Tattoo Photo #18331

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.

Using lines of varying thickness to define shape and depth, linework tattoos achieve expression through economy. The absence of shading keeps the focus on the quality and flow of each stroke.

The chest is a bold placement choice that stays mostly concealed under clothing. Its proximity to the heart makes it a popular spot for meaningful symbols, text, and portrait work.
