Frequently asked questions

How do I plan around the sternum line?+
Treat the centre line as the spine of the design. Chest pieces that anchor on the sternum and open outward follow the body; pieces that ignore it end up looking pasted on. It also gives your artist a reference to keep both sides balanced while you are lying down and the skin moves.
Does a chest piece have to be symmetrical?+
No, but it has to be deliberate. Full symmetry suits ornamental and geometric work. Asymmetric designs work when they have a clear anchor — one shoulder, one pec — instead of drifting. What reads badly is near-symmetry: close enough that the eye expects a mirror and notices it is off.
Are these designs free to use?+
Designs you generate are yours, including taking them to a studio. Generating is free to try; heavy use is covered by the Pro plan.
