An under and below the breast tattoo has become increasingly popular through the years as women embrace their bodies and sexuality more than generations (in Canada) prior. You want one as well, but before proceeding there are a few things that you want to know that our Vancouver tattoo studios are happy to respond to. Please keep reading.
What Women Want to Know About Getting an Under and Below the Breast Tattoo in Vancouver BC
Does a Below the Breast Tattoo Hurt?
Most women who are searching for details on an under breast tattoo have the curved area known as costal arch (or margin) in mind as the primary canvas space. The costal arch is made of the costal cartilages of the 7th to 10th ribs, which tend to be more painful than most other areas of the body. Further, if you want a tattoo that spans across the costal cartilage, the tattoo may occur over the xiphisternal joint. The xiphisternal joint is located near the bottom of the sternum, where the body of the sternum and the xiphoid process meet. Any tattooist will tell you that the sternum is particularly sensitive to a tattoo needle. If your threshold for pain and discomfort is low, request that the artist work the design below the breast in a manner that does not cross over the xiphisternal joint.
Is it Safe to Get a Below the Breast Tattoo?
It’s generally just as safe to get a below the breast tattoo as with most other popular zones on the body. And as with these other zones, peace of mind comes down to the safety and sanitation protocols established by the tattoo shop and staff.
Under and Below the Breast Tattoo Ideas and Concepts
- Wings: Any subject with wings works well with the natural curve of the above-mentioned costal arch. Those who appreciate balance choose moths, butterflies, birds, and angels, where the figure’s torso is positioned at the bottom of the sternum in the center space below the breasts.
- Natural Murals: Given the symbolism of women’s breasts, an organic scene plucked from Mother Nature’s bounty is also an idyllic concept to consider.
- Tantric Art: This is a form of tattooed art that leverages images and diagrams that are associated with achieving enlightenment through meditation and rituals.
While there are ultimately no rules, you can get any subject done in a variety of tattoo styles that our Vancouver shops have expertise in.
