As of the moment, there are over hundreds of thousands of designs made available for Tattoo addicts and aficionados. You will find each of these categorized according to the actual skin art site, that is, the region of the body where the tattoo is found. Chest tattoos, or chest pieces as some call it, are becoming very popular.
If you are thinking of hopping in with the trend, here are some aspects of getting this kind of tattoo that you need to take note of:
Question: where is the chest when it comes to tattooing? For men, this might refer to the part immediately below the neck, from the clavicles to the pectoral muscles. Women, on the other hand, do not include their breast area when they are talking about tattoos on the chest. Then again, this does not mean that you cannot tattoo over both areas. In this world of skin art, anything goes.
One of the biggest misconceptions about chest tattoos is that this kind is the least painful of all kinds, mainly because they think the chest is the breast region in women or the pectorals in men only. But since the region we are dealing with is above that area, it means you will be tattooing over a few ribs and the clavicle. This also means that the experience can be pretty agonizing – especially if it is your first time.
As mentioned, the chest part is pretty bony. When choosing a design, you might want to go for one which will work better with the natural curves and bony protuberances on the chest. The designs of the chest tattoos you see on the internet will look different once it is on your body. One thing which might help you lessen the mistake here is to work on a rough draft with your artist.
