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.

Calf tattoos benefit from a muscular canvas that gives designs depth and presence. The flat rear surface works well for portraits and detailed work, while wrapping designs follow the leg's natural shape.
