chest tattoo designs

Home of the heart and lungs, the chest provides a broad canvas for tattoos that define who you are and what you’re about. A strong chest tattoo can make average pectorals look bigger on a man; it can also frame and emphasize a woman’s breasts in an appealing way. Before going under the gun, make sure you’ve thought about all the possibilities.
See Inside Me
The artwork appears to peel back the flesh and show what lies beneath the surface. Dark types might have demons leering and chattering as they peer out at the viewer from behind the heart or lungs or folds of chest tissue. A fairy, sprite or “familiar”–an animal that acts as a human’s spiritual guide–could grace this design if you’re a light-hearted sort.
Symmetrical Designs
Eagles make for popular tattoo designs; the symmetry of the wings, expanding on either breast, make for striking tattoo designs. The two heads of a mythical dragon, beast or bird could also peer from either pectoral. The masks of comedy and tragedy could form the basis of such a design, even if the design itself is abstract.
Family Crest
Even if you don’t know or don’t have an historical family crest, designing one based on other designs–picking out elements and personalizing them–can make for a strikingly individualized tattoo. If family is the center of your life, a crest tattoo can incorporate elements to honor beloved individuals within it.
Landscape
While women don’t have as much space to work with as men, your chest might be a window to another world. The landscape might be a literal representation of a place, real or imagined; it could also incorporate surreal elements. For inspiration, study Salvador Dali’s surrealistic painting, “The Persistence of Memory.”
