A spectrum of techniques appears: single‑needle micro‑ink, stipple shading, bold traditional lines, water‑colour washes and chiselled CGI chiaroscuro that simulates freshly healed contrast. Each mock‑up is rendered at high resolution so collectors can evaluate fine detail before committing to skin.
Placement guidance accompanies every stencil—suggesting forearm, sternum, backpiece or calf—mirroring common planning queries on design scale, line density and long‑term readability. Visual mock‑ups demonstrate how gradients settle over muscle contours after healing.
