Ribs tattoos

Intimate and mostly private, following the body's curve. Rib pieces suit flowing designs — florals, script, waves — that bend with the ribcage rather than fighting it.

Design for the ribs — free

The honest notes

Pain

High — thin skin directly over bone, and breathing moves the canvas.

Size & sessions

10–25cm; designs with natural curve wear best here.
