okay so I’m trying to design my own chest piece (I’m a tatt artist myself but I’m gonna find someone else to do it ofc) and i wanted to make a rough outline of a chest piece to give to the artist as an idea (pls ignore the flaws in design, these are just meant to be a general guide of style & placement). i’m getting my back done next week & decided naturally that this is what i need next! 

here’s what I came up with & here’s why I genuinely can’t choose: 

the leaves design: i think it’s more timeless, might heal better and also easier to add onto once i need to do my shoulder caps / top of the shoulder. i also think the flow of it might work better once i lift my arms up? 

the sun & moon: i am more drawn to this & it feels a lot more “me” and a bit more unique. however I’m worried about it being too busy and might not age as nicely. originally i wanted to make a sun on one side & a moon on the other side, but the a-symmetricalness of it was bothering me so i went with a happy side and sad side, so that they’re symmetrical but not identical. i do also like how much space it takes up?? 

let me know what you think from an outsider’s pov?? i def need more time to decide & save up anyways so im trying to take everything into consideration!! i’m also thinking of maybe stencilling them both on myself and see how i feel? 

chest / collarbone piece dilemma?
