Tattoos on the chest.
A large, symmetrical area close to the heart. For designs with weight, and for everything you only show when you want to.
At a glance
What works well here.
The chest is symmetrical. Mandalas, ornaments and designs with a clear centre look calm here, and large scenes get room.
What your Artist looks out for with your tattoo on the chest.
Your Artist plans the motif and size for your placement and adjusts the design until it is right. These are the points you discuss together.
- 01Setting up symmetryYour Artist aligns the stencil with the centre of the breastbone and checks it while you stand and sit.
- 02Plan around necklinesTell your Artist which necklines you like to wear. Then the design sits so that it shows what you want to show.
- 03Plan for breaksIt gets more sensitive over the breastbone. Agree on short breaks with your Artist.
- 04Transition to shoulder and stomachThe chest is rarely on its own. Your Artist plans the transition to the shoulder and stomach as well, even if something is only added there later. That way the design flows with the body instead of standing still.

Frequently asked questions about chest tattoos
One side or both?
Both work. A design with a centre looks calm, while two sides can mirror or complement each other.
Does the chest hurt?
Easy to bear on the muscles, noticeably more over the breastbone and on the collarbone. Many find it quite manageable, but it varies from person to person.
Can I see and change the design beforehand?
Yes. Once you have chosen your Artist and paid the deposit, they draw your design and adjust it with you until you say: this is exactly how I want it. This can happen by message over several rounds or together in person.
How much does a tattoo cost?
That depends on size, placement, style and effort. The Artist sets the price after you have talked about your design. Some of our Artists offer payment in instalments, usually via PayPal or Klarna. Whether this is possible, on what terms and over what period is decided by the Artist, who will tell you in the consultation. The studio is not involved. More in the price guide.
