How to plan peony tattoo patchwork layouts
Peony designs work best when the subject has a clear silhouette. Choose the version whose shape fits your placement, then let supporting details connect it to nearby pieces.
Pick the silhouette
A tall peony suits a limb, a round one suits a joint or the sternum. Judge the outline before the detail.
Check the scale
The on-skin preview shows the realistic size. Fine detail disappears when a design is shrunk too far.
Connect the pieces
Use stems, stars, sparks or small fillers to tie the subject to neighbouring tattoos without merging them.
