Choosing Your Canvas: Placement & Flow for Feline Art

The location of your tattoo is just as critical as the design itself, particularly when dealing with the powerful musculature and intense gaze of a big cat. At our Canggu tattoo studio, our artists are experts in “Anatomical Flow”—the practice of designing tattoos that complement and enhance your body’s natural curves and movements. Whether it is a stalking tiger or a regal lion, we ensure your ink moves in harmony with your silhouette.

• Shoulder & Collarbone: This is a strikingly elegant location for an emerging predator. By following the natural bone structure, a leopard or panther can appear to be peering over the shoulder, providing a bold frame to the upper body. It’s an ideal spot for those who want their feline art to be a visible statement while wandering the beaches of Canggu.

• Forearm & Bicep: The arms offer the perfect canvas for a dynamic piece that interacts with your movement. We often design tigers or cheetahs that “wrap” around the arm, creating a 360-degree prowling effect. This placement allows for incredible micro-realism detail, from the fine texture of the fur to the piercing intensity of the eyes, making it a popular choice for both first-timers and collectors.

• Thigh & Hip: If you are looking for a larger, more impactful piece, the thigh and hip provide a broad and smooth canvas. This area allows our artists to truly showcase their skills in black and grey realism or Japanese traditional (Irezumi), giving them the space to include expansive scenes of lions in the wild or majestic pumas amidst tropical foliage. The result is a powerful yet graceful piece that flows beautifully with your stride.

• Sternum & Ribs: For a more intimate and sophisticated aesthetic, the sternum and ribcage are premier choices. Symmetrical lion portraits or sleek minimalist cat silhouettes are crafted here to follow the curve of the torso, often centered as a powerful “solar plexus” focal point. While these areas are more sensitive, our Bali fine line experts use a gentle, single-needle technique to ensure the most comfortable experience possible while achieving a high level of detail in every whisker and claw.

Tattoo Aftercare

For detailed pieces like realistic tiger and lion tattoos, proper healing is essential to preserve the fine fur details. We use a second skin for the best results, included in the price. In the Tattoo Aftercare Guide you will find info about tattoo healing with that film.
