A chest tattoo is a big commitment. It’s out there for the world to see (unless you wear a high-necked t-shirt). This makes choosing a design quite a daunting task.
While chest tattoos are a statement piece, they don’t need to be bold or literal to make that statement. Some women like them to stretch the entirety of the chest and up onto the shoulders. Others opt for a small significant symbol.
I love a variety of chest tattoo options. One thing they share is how empowering they make us feel as women. Here are some of my favorite chest tattoos for women this year.

What do a unicorn, wolf, and diamond have in common? They make a cute but quirky chest piece when you ink them in candy colors. I love the lunar theme accented on both sides and the airbrush background design in this tattoo.

This gorgeous design took a lot of patience and skill. The dot and line work in this chest piece requires extreme precision and attention to detail. I love the symmetry and delicate femininity in the design.
3. Shoulder to Chest Floral Ink

The fine line work in these delicate blossoms is phenomenal. Flowers and greenery drape across each shoulder, reaching toward the center of her chest. I love that the artist chose black ink over color for this piece. #itjustworks

Some tattoos aren’t keepers. I love that the artist covered unwanted art with something new and bold. You can see blue ink peeking out from the old tattoo, but all eyes will be on that stunning detailed Lynx.
5. Hand Poke Nature-Inspired Chest Tattoo
![115 Empowering Chest Tattoos for Women to Explore in 2022 (5) 115 Empowering Chest Tattoos for Women to Explore in 2022 (5)](https://i0.wp.com/herbones.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Hand-Poke-Nature-Inspired-Chest-Tattoo.jpg)
This showstopper tattoo was designed without the use of a tattoo gun. Hand poke tattoos are applied by hand. I’m in awe of the time and detail that went into the delicate stippling for this nature-inspired chest piece.
6. Optical Illusion Serpent Chest Tattoo
![115 Empowering Chest Tattoos for Women to Explore in 2022 (6) 115 Empowering Chest Tattoos for Women to Explore in 2022 (6)](https://i0.wp.com/herbones.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Optical-Illusion-Serpent-Chest-Tattoo.jpg)
Collar bones are unquestionably sexy. This venom-dripping snake tattoo certainly enhances her collar bone. I’m drawn to the optical illusion of it all. There’s something a little magical about it.
7. Bold Moonphase Chest Tattoo

There’s something about this brightly-hued chest piece I can’t look away from. The orange and yellow ink is striking and stands out with the detailed shading. The moon is such a feminine symbol. It’s powerful and alluring as a tattoo.
8. Big but Simple Skull and Roses
![115 Empowering Chest Tattoos for Women to Explore in 2022 (8) 115 Empowering Chest Tattoos for Women to Explore in 2022 (8)](https://i0.wp.com/herbones.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Big-but-Simple-Skull-and-Roses.jpg)
This skull chest tattoo is brilliant in its simplicity. It’s striking without all the heavy shading or color of other large chest pieces. I love that she’s accentuated the symbol of death with roses. It softens the tattoo somehow.

An iris represents faith and hope. It makes sense to ink this flower close to the heart. I love the center placement and upward flow of leaves and petals. The artist chose to ink the flower in color but the foliage in black.
10. Neo Traditional Butterfly and Flowers

Neo Traditional tattoos limit colored ink. This remarkable butterfly and floral design play with yellow hues. I like how the artist framed the butterfly with the flowers, draping them around her shoulders like a shawl.
11. Perfectly Petite Hydrangea Chest Tattoo
![115 Empowering Chest Tattoos for Women to Explore in 2022 (11) 115 Empowering Chest Tattoos for Women to Explore in 2022 (11)](https://i0.wp.com/herbones.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Perfectly-Petite-Hydrangea-Chest-Tattoo.jpg)

12. Legend of Zelda Triforce Tattoo
![115 Empowering Chest Tattoos for Women to Explore in 2022 (12) 115 Empowering Chest Tattoos for Women to Explore in 2022 (12)](https://i0.wp.com/herbones.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Legend-of-Zelda-Triforce-Tattoo.jpg)

Cover-ups aren’t always easy. This one does the job perfectly. A large moth and colorful background of nature-inspired components stretch across her chest. I love the addition of deep black outlines and shading to offset the color.
16. Pearls, Flowers, and Video Game Character Tattoo
![115 Empowering Chest Tattoos for Women to Explore in 2022 (16) 115 Empowering Chest Tattoos for Women to Explore in 2022 (16)](https://i0.wp.com/herbones.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Pearls-Flowers-and-Video-Game-Character-Tattoo.jpg)

Summary and Top Picks
A chest tattoo makes a statement and offers a true tribute to self-expression. There are so many beautiful and unique designs to choose from, and picking just one feels daunting. My advice is to follow your heart and customize your tattoo to your size, color, and style preferences.
I selected each of these chest tattoos because they speak to me, but my top three are:
- #21 Soft Pink Watercolor Lotus Chest Tattoo: This ethereal watercolor lotus blossom is everything feminine and empowering. I love the fine details in the piece.
- # 35 Large Peaco*ck and White Roses Chest Tattoo: I can’t get over the white roses in contrast with the gray and peach peaco*ck feathers. The blending work in this tattoo is phenomenal.
- #56 Amazing Under the Sea Octopus and Diamond Tattoo: Those colors, though! I love nautical and aquatic tattoos. The array of colors and beautifully detailed sea life in this chest piece are outstanding.
These are my faves, but I want to know yours. Would you consider one of these designs on your chest? Comment below!
