About this design

What the design shows

The jellyfish hangs vertically with a round, domed bell at the top and a long spray of tentacles below. Dark indigo fills the broad scalloped panels around the bell, while blush-pink inner panels and tiny cream dots break up the rim. A small pink flower-like rosette sits on the crown. Under the bell, pale pink frills gather around a narrow dark body, then split into wavy tentacles edged in black. Several thin strands loop farther out from the body in red, blue, and black, giving the lower half a loose, drifting outline. A stacked cream cloud curl with indigo shadows presses against the right side of the bell and tentacles. The design uses flat color contained by a crisp dark outline, with open white skin around the floating strands. In the on-skin view it sits vertically in the middle of the hand back, about two finger-joint lengths tall.

Placement

Placement and size

The preview puts the bell just below the knuckles on the back of the hand, with the tentacles trailing toward the wrist. Its narrow, vertical silhouette is about two finger-joint lengths and leaves room around the outer strands. It can also sit along the inner forearm, behind the ankle, on the side of the calf, or centered above the elbow. The smallest loops and cream dots are the first details to merge if the design is reduced, so keep the flowing tentacles longer than the bell rather than compressing them.

Patchwork

Building it into a patchwork

This is a light-to-medium color piece: the indigo bell reads clearly, but the tendrils dissolve into open skin at the edges. Use it in a vertical gap where its trailing lines can point into empty space, such as between a compact flower and a small cloud or star group. It pairs naturally with other Japanese-influenced flash, especially cloud curls, koi, or fans, without requiring a full background. Keep roughly a finger-width of bare skin around the long outer tentacles so they remain separate from nearby outlines.

For your artist

Notes for your tattoo artist

01Keep the outer tentacles uneven and airy instead of turning them into one solid fringe.
02Check that the cloud curl stays behind the bell rather than covering the pink frills.
03Reserve clean skin between the red, blue, and black strands at the bottom.
04Place the bell below the knuckles so hand movement does not distort its scalloped rim.
