About this design

What the design shows

A pair of narrow lightning bolts sits apart on the upper chest, one on each side of the sternum. Both are made from a single open black contour rather than filled black. The left bolt rises from a long lower point, turns through one sharp central kink, and finishes in a high pointed tip. The right bolt mirrors its direction so the two inner edges face each other across an unmarked center. Their outer edges remain farther apart, giving the pair a broad, balanced stance. No rays, clouds, stars, or shading accompany the bolts. The long upper and lower ends make each mark taller than its width, while the middle zigzag supplies the only change of direction. In the on-skin preview, the two bolts sit just below the collarbones at about thumb length each, leaving a palm-width of open chest between them.

Placement

Placement and size

The reference places one bolt on either upper chest side, with the sharp tips climbing toward the collarbones and their inside edges directed toward the sternum. Each is about thumb length, separated by a wide unmarked center. The mirrored arrangement also fits shoulder blades, outer calves, or the upper back. Position the pair from the chest center outward so neither bolt leans farther inward. If reduced, keep one crisp middle kink and the long terminal points rather than narrowing the outline excessively.

Patchwork

Building it into a patchwork

These bolts are light graphic accents with enough length to frame a chest composition. Their open outlines need a small skin border, especially along the inward edges facing the sternum. A tiny star can sit below one lower tip, while a narrow botanical line can extend outside the pair. Do not fill the central gap with another strong motif; the symmetrical empty space lets the two bolts read together. Keep dense black flash below them rather than directly beside their pointed sides.
