History of Sternum Tattoos

Getting a sternum tattoo has only recently become a trend. Women have been hesitant about getting the area between their breasts inked for a long time. The first reason behind this is the pain. This area is very sensitive, so the pain from getting a tattoo can be unbearable for some.

The second reason is that women found this kind of tattoos a bit too much. They were more conservative than men when it came to tattoos, so getting their sternum inked seemed excessive. Some of the more popular options were small tattoos on wrists or ankles.
