How to plan icarus tattoo patchwork layouts
Choose whether the figure, the direction of flight or the wing emblem carries your Icarus design.
Pick the pose
Rising and falling figures create different silhouettes. Compare the body and wing outline before the smaller feather details.
Give wings room
Wide wings need space across the back or shoulder; a folded-wing figure can fit a longer, narrower placement.
Check the detail
Keep the figure and feathers readable when you adjust the scale in the Builder. Review the final size with your tattoo artist.
