About Japanese (Irezumi)

Traditional Irezumi — bold black outlines, vivid color, mythological motifs and natural elements drawn from centuries of Japanese tattoo tradition.

Composition for a thigh

On a thigh, Japanese compositions read best when the focal motif anchors at the natural visual centre of the area and supporting elements taper toward the edges. Plan negative space around joints — they bend, they crease, and any heavy linework that crosses them flexes with the body. This is why traditional bodysuit planners reserve clean breaks at shoulder, elbow, knee, and waist.
