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.

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.
