The same design lives differently on a forearm than on a ribcage. Placement isn’t an afterthought — it’s one of the first design decisions we make together.
Anatomy and movement
Muscles flex, joints bend, skin stretches. A composition has to account for how the body moves, so the piece still reads when you do. Curves can add drama or distort a line; the trick is to design with the anatomy, not against it.
Scale, visibility, and intent
Where a tattoo sits changes what it says. A private placement invites detail and intimacy; a visible one is a statement worn every day. Size follows placement too — fine linework needs room to breathe, and bold work needs a canvas that carries it.
We decide placement together, early, so the drawing is built for exactly where it will live.
