Choosing Your Canvas: Placement & Flow for Sunrise Art

The location of your tattoo is just as critical as the design itself, particularly when dealing with the radiating rays and horizontal lines of celestial art. 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, ensuring the sun always appears to be rising perfectly against your silhouette.

• Shoulder & Collarbone: This is a strikingly elegant location for a radiating sunburst. By following the natural bone structure, the rays appear to “beam” outward from the joint, providing a delicate and bright frame to the upper body. It’s an ideal spot for those who want their sunrise to be visible in summer dresses or beachwear while wandering the streets of Canggu.

• Forearm & Bicep: The arms offer the perfect canvas for a visible celestial piece that interacts with your movement. We often design sunsets that “wrap” around the arm, creating a 360-degree horizon effect. This placement allows for incredible detail, from the fine lines of the sun’s glow to the minimalist ripples of the ocean waves below, making it a popular choice for first-timers and collectors alike.

• 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 geometry, giving them the space to include expansive coastal scenes, palm tree silhouettes, or intricate solar systems. The result is a bold yet graceful piece that moves beautifully with your stride.

• Sternum & Ribs: For a more intimate and sophisticated aesthetic, the sternum and ribcage are premier choices. Sun designs here are crafted to follow the curve of the torso, often centered as a “solar plexus” sunburst that is both discreet and alluring. While these areas are more sensitive, our Bali fine line experts use a gentle technique to ensure the most comfortable experience possible while achieving a high level of detail in every ray.
