The area offers a long, curved surface ideal for flowing scripts, botanical compositions, and figure designs that stretch from armpit to hip. The trade-off is higher pain and longer healing due to the rib bones and constant body movement.

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.
