One of the following techniques is commonly used.

• New school. These tattoos are chosen by the most daring and extraordinary personalities. A branch stuffed in this style will always look bright and colorful, with all its appearance evoking positive emotions from its owner and the people around him.

• Dotwork... Drawings are made by composing a pattern from many dots. Usually, such tattoos are made in black and white, laconic, without unnecessary decorative details.

• Realism allows you to get an image of a branch on the skin that looks more like a photograph than a drawing. This style is very fond of the fair sex.

• Minimalism looks consistently impressive. It assumes a restrained design, a minimum of decor and a black and white solution.

• Old school. In this technique, a branch is most often stuffed as an additional element of the main composition. For example, it can be made in the form of a frame. If it is applied as an independent item, then it is usually supplemented with birds, ribbons or even skulls.

• Watercolor... A style based on the use of vibrant translucent paints, color strokes and gradient transitions. Such drawings are very beautiful, airy and light.

A branch is a universal pattern that can be placed on any part of the body... The choice depends on many factors, but mainly the sketch itself and its dimensions. For voluminous compositions, the optimal solutions will be the shoulder area, back, chest, collarbone, forearms, as well as calves.

If the tattoo is of compact size and is performed in the style of engraving, then it should be stuffed on the wrist or in the neck area.

Two branches stylized as angel wings look quite impressive. Such tattoos are stuffed on the shoulder blades.

Be sure to consider the style of the tattoo. For example, compact size realistic images are inappropriate. They will not allow the tattoo artist to fill in all the small details as accurately as possible. For such tattoos, the back and chest will be the best solutions.

The design of volumetric compositions will require a significant investment of time.... If the sketch is complex, discomfort will be felt for a long time during the entire workflow.

For people with a reduced pain threshold, this approach is unacceptable. For them, the best solution would be a tattoo on areas of the body without bone protrusions (calves, buttocks, abdomen, neck).

If we talk specifically about the branches, then the plot composition looks most harmoniously in the following sections.

• Hand... Any zone can be used.Miniatures are painted on the inside and outside of the shoulder, the inside of the forearm, and even on the fingers. Thin twigs around the wrist, reminiscent of bracelets, look especially impressive. Delicate sprigs of lilac, lavender or sakura will emphasize the fragility of women's hands. For men, olive or laurel will be the preferred options.

• Leg... Some plots of tattoos look organic on the thighs and legs. Usually large branches of sakura, mountain ash or olive are depicted here. This option is suitable for the fairer sex: decorative patterns on the thighs, calves and ankles draw attention to women's legs, emphasize their slimness and beauty.

• Collarbone... A good option for ladies who prefer graceful tattoos. A refined twig will create an accent on the smooth curve of the neck and emphasize the slimness of the figure. Most often, sakura, lavender, lilac and other branches of delicate plants are painted on the collarbone.

Miniature tattoos done on the neck and in the area behind the ear, the most daring stuff the image of a branch on the face. In the first case, they may indicate a certain secret and shyness.

In the second, the drawings are used for shocking and do not carry special symbolic meaning.
