What does the tattoo under the breast mean
The place of the tattoo does not have any specific meaning. What is important is what is depicted on the body.
Although the issue of the location of the tattoo in ancient times was assigned an important role. Indian shamans considered the tattoo on the lower ribs on the left to protect the heart from unhappy love, the loss of loved ones. For the warriors, this meant that an arrow fired by even the most well-aimed shooter would not strike the heart.
The tattoo on the right was considered protection from evil spirits, which, according to Indian beliefs, penetrated the liver and thus deprived a person of health, luck, even life itself.
But in order to appreciate the true meaning of a tattoo, it is important to be guided by the drawing.
Popular under breast tattoos
Most of the photos of underbust tattoos make it clear that minimalism is the preferred style. This is due not only to the area of drawing, which makes the tattoo especially personal and not for public viewing, but also to the peculiarities of the anatomy of the chest area. First, it is rich in nerve endings: too-large images require high endurance (or, alternatively, the use of anesthetic gel). Secondly, large drawings located on one side visually deform the figure, therefore, if you want to apply a large tattoo, it is better to consider symmetrical options for body art, when the two parts of the tattoo are the same and are located on both sides under the breast.
