How to plan tattoo ideas for women patchwork layouts
These designs were reviewed with this use in mind. Compare them on skin, then shape the one you like around your own placement.
Start with placement
Decide where the piece sits first; the same design changes size and mood on a wrist, a forearm or a chest.
Judge readability
Use the on-skin preview to check that the lines stay clear at the size you plan to wear.
Plan the next piece
Patchwork grows one tattoo at a time. Leave clear skin around this design so the next one has room.
