What is a chest piece?
A chest piece is a major tattoo covering the chest — usually symmetrically, spanning pectoral to pectoral. It's a classic placement for statement tattoos.
Chest pieces require careful symmetry and flow with collarbones and sternum. They tend to be painful due to thin skin over bone.
Examples
- Traditional American eagle across the chest
- Japanese peony pair with wave backgrounds
- Ornamental sternum design
