What is a ornamental tattoo?

The style borrows from mandalas, henna, architecture and jewellery. It is decorative by nature and follows the body's lines.

Where to place a ornamental tattoo

Ornamental pieces suit the sternum, the spine, the back of the hand, the shoulder cap and the thigh, where symmetry can follow the body.
