Much like jewelry, tattoos are a common form of body adornment; they just so happen to be the kind of accessory you can't take off at the end of the day. If you're thinking about adding a sexy piece of ink to your current tattoo collection, or simply want a hidden design that'll peek through your shirt or bralette, look no further than sternum area — the area located below the breast area on the chest — as a placement option.

Sternum tattoos can be as big or as small as you choose. You can opt for something larger, which could span under the entirety of your breast bone, or go with a small sternum tattoo, which might only take up a tiny area in the center of your chest. While it all depends on your personal preferences, one thing about sternum tattoos is uncontested: no matter the size or design, the end result is always a beautiful unique piece of art.
