Rib tattoos are some of the most painful on the body and some of the most rewarding. The flat surface across the lateral ribs gives you panel-like space, and the placement hides easily for anyone whose work calls for it. The pain factor means rib pieces are usually a multi-session commitment.
Illustrative fits this canvas because it's drawn, narrative work translated into skin from an artist signature style. The work below comes from artists on the platform who specialize in this combination.
Recurring subjects across the Illustrative Rib tattoos currently on the platform: polynesian tattoo, blackwork tattoo, cultural tattoo, pacific island tattoo, tribal tattoo, and los angeles tattoo artist. The grid below is the full set.
What to look for. Look for a recognizable signature voice across the artist's body of work, because if the portfolio reads like five different illustrators, they're still finding their style.
