Chest Tattoos

Chest Tattoos

Chest tattoos are often a favorite piece for a tattoo artistic to do because of the expansive amount of space in which to work with. Chest tattoos are also called chest pieces and they shouldn’t be confused with womens tattoos placed on the breast. Those tattoos are usually smaller than the chest tattoo which is a large piece designed to cover the entire area of the chest. The chest tattoo in the picture is a perfect example of a traditional patriotic piece combined with other fascinating elements. It contains the American flag and the bald eagle which are both symbols of freedom. There is also the nautical design of a clipper ship which is very common among sailors and fishermen. Around the border of the design is a laurel wreath which indicates a strong desire for peace. That is a common element in European designs. The whole tattoo is finished off with a huge cherry blossom which holds the laurel wreath in place. The cherry blossom is common in Japanese tattoos and is a reminder of the fleeting nature of life. As you can see, chest pieces can be crafted of several different elements which allows the bearer to make more of a statement then what is usually possible with a smaller piece.
