About Ribs Tattoos
Rib tattoos run along the side of the torso over the ribcage — an elegant, personal canvas for flowing, vertical designs, and easily concealed for private pieces.
- A generous, mostly flat surface ideal for vertical compositions and lettering
- Widely considered one of the most painful spots — thin skin over bone, constant breathing movement
- Knowing the pain going in helps you pace longer pieces across sittings
- Easily hidden for complete privacy; ages well thanks to low friction
- Designs that flow with the natural line of the torso look most elegant
