This unique form of artistic expression is attractive and eye-catching to say the least, and is one of the most popular places to get inked nowadays. There are no limits on sternum tattoos, and they can be as small and minimalist or as large, grandeur, and bold as you desire.
Because of the nature of the sternum, getting a tattoo in this area can be fairly painful. Since there is not much fleshy area to cushion the pain of a tattoo, getting inked here hurts more than more meaty areas of your body.
An advantage of this type of tattoo design is that they are easy to conceal in professional settings and equally as easy to show off.
During the tattooing process, you will need to expose your chest or breasts so your tattoo artist can place the tattoo accurately on your body. There is a good chance your artist will have a private room for tattoos on vulnerable areas, but if this is something that bothers you, a sternum tattoo may not be right for you.
Popular designs for sternum tattoos include mandalas, elegant, chandelier like designs, and bouquets of flowers.
For women, choosing dainty, feminine tattoo ideas will help highlight the sensualness of the sternum area. For men, a bolder, more rugged design may help highlight your strength.
