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 three-quarter sleeve
On a three-quarter sleeve, 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.
