Start with the tiger silhouette: a curling body, a pouncing pose or a compact portrait changes how the design fits your space.
Choose the movement
Compare prowling, resting and pouncing tigers. Check the direction of the head, paws and tail before deciding where the piece should face.
Balance the accents
Bamboo, maple leaves or peonies can frame the tiger. Choose a simpler outline if you want the animal to remain the clearest focal point.
Leave room for stripes
Use the on-skin preview and Builder to compare scale. Keep the stripes and facial features distinct, then review the final placement with your artist.
