1. Symmetrical Leaves Tattoo Art. Nature-based tattoos are always a great choice – especially if you’re looking for a design that’ll sit on a delicate body part. Collar bones provide an excellent canvas for plant or floral tattoos as you can use your linear bone shape to accentuate the body art. Fabulous!
2. Floral Tattoo Collection. A collarbone tattoo can be minimal, but it doesn’t have to be! This floral design proves you can opt for a more extravagant design and still look elegant.

4. Mini Pastel Florals. Not sure whether you want black color ink on your collarbone area? Many tattoo artists are embracing the pastel ink trend. These tattoos often use bright pops of pink, blue, and green, giving a contrast between the skin and the design. Beautiful, yet minimal.

5. Shoulder Butterfly Tattoos. A butterfly tattoo is a timeless classic that symbolizes freedom and life. If you’re after a meaningful collarbone tattoo, a simple butterfly motif could complete your design. This style is popular in black ink, but you can ask your artist for vivid hues too.
6. Shoulder and Chest Dragon Tattoo. Eye-catching tattoos for women are on the rise, and fashionistas are after intricate dragon designs. This is a great idea if you want your collarbone tattoo to represent your lust for life or powerful spirit. Just make sure you research the meaning behind any cultural symbols first!

8. See-Through Leaves. The collarbone is a bold placement, but you don’t have to opt for a striking shoulder design. These feathery plants prove how elegant a barely-there tattoo can be.

9. Green Ink Leaf Tattoos. A large majority of tattoos are in black ink today, and we love them! However, if you feel like breaking the rules, a navy or dark green shade complements collarbone leaves perfectly. Whether you opt for on the bones or just below, an off-black ink will perfectly complete your chest area.

10. Dainty Flower and Birds Chest Tattoo. Floral tattoos are a favorite choice for women. Want yours to look a little different? Add some birds to your inking! To make the design even more personal, ask your loved ones to choose their favorite birds and plants. Style with a hidden meaning!
11. Bold Pink and Red Roses. With so many gorgeous colors in the world, it’s a shame to miss out on a colorful design. This show-stopping floral tattoo mixes detailed art and a rich color palette for a sensational result. As this tattoo stretches across the collarbone, shoulder and chest, it might be a little more painful. Remember to discuss any worries with your tattoo artist beforehand.

12. Pale Pink Flower Tattoo Design. If you’ve had your eye on colorful tattoos for a while, consider trying the pale pink trend. This cherry bloom tattoo style uses less shading, making the painful process more bearable without compromising the design. A great choice for any first-timers.

13. Under Clavicle Flowers. Tattoos directly on the collarbone area can be quite painful due to the presence of bones. Artists can avoid extra pain by subtly placing the design below, but still along the clavicle. This below collarbone design features a bright star and roses design – bold and beautiful.

14. Mini Collarbone Designs. Mini designs and tiny simple shapes are a big trend right now. We love this leaf design and the simple sophistication it brings.

17. One-Sided Chest Design. Body art is whatever YOU want it to be, and there are hundreds of different styles to choose from. A one-sided chest and collarbone design is a chic way to enjoy a collarbone tattoo without adding more pain. Nice!
18. Alternative Collar Bone Tattoo. Ready to go against collar bone tattoo trends? Swap flowers for leafy plants and mushrooms! These tattoo ideas still link to the traditional flower tattoo idea, but you’ll have something more unique instead. We love this pink and green tattoo; don’t be scared to add color!
19. Dandelion Collarbone Tattoos. Dandelions might not be your first thought, but these collar bone tattoos capture the spirit of nature and fluid movement perfectly. Make sure you opt for dainty lines to get the best final look.
