The leg offers a large area for detail or a subtle placement for smaller pieces. Thigh, calf, or shin Thigh placements allow larger designs and softer curves, while calves suit vertical compositions.
Originating from centuries-old cultural practices, tribal designs carry symbolic weight through their patterns and placement. Modern tribal tattoos adapt these traditional motifs into contemporary compositions that honor the style's heritage.
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.
