About this design

What the design shows

A woman faces right in a three-quarter portrait, with soft black hair arranged in a high layered bun. A round gold ornament and a slim gold bar sit near the left side of the bun. Loose strands frame the face, which has pale skin, black lashes, and red lips. She holds an open blue folding fan across her chest with one hand. Gold ribs spread from the lower corner of the fan and a gold line borders its dark blue panels. Her kimono has a deep teal body, red collar bands, and thin cream seams that separate the folds. The fan, face, and upper torso make a compact triangle with no background elements. On the hand preview it sits upright at thumb length on the back of the hand, hair toward the knuckles and kimono toward the wrist.

Placement

Placement and size

The preview sets this compact portrait on the back of the hand, centered below the knuckles, at roughly thumb length. It reads more easily at palm size on the upper arm, calf, shoulder blade, or outer thigh. Keep the fan on the same side of the torso when flipping the stencil. At a smaller scale, reduce the number of gold fan ribs and robe seams before changing the face contour.

Patchwork

Building it into a patchwork

Blue, red, teal, and gold give this a medium-heavy color presence despite its small outline. It can anchor a hand or arm grouping beside a gold hairpin, tiny lantern, or simple blue leaf. Leave open skin around the outer fan edge and the loose hair strands. Another detailed color portrait beside it would compete with the face and make the fan silhouette unclear.

For your artist

Notes for your tattoo artist

01Keep the gold fan ribs visible against the dark blue panels.
02Reserve the red lips as a separate mark from the face outline.
03Simplify the hand and fingers before reducing the design.
04Place the portrait below the knuckles so bending does not cut through the face.
