About Shoulder Tattoos
The shoulder is a classic, comfortable, flattering placement — its rounded form complements flowing, curved designs, whether a standalone piece or the upper anchor of a sleeve.
- Muscular and well-padded, so on the more comfortable end of the pain spectrum
- The curved shape flatters ornamental work, florals and half-mandalas over the cap
- One of the easiest placements to conceal — hidden under almost any top
- Ages well (low friction); a natural starting point for a sleeve
- Design to follow the rounded form — that's where the shoulder's appeal lies
