Intricate black and white Polynesian/Māori stylized jaguar head tattoo on a person's shoulder and upper arm.

elow is a design brief you can give directly to a tattoo artist (or feed into a digital‑drawing app) for a stylized jaguar rendered in dark‑black, intricate Polynesian/Māori line work that will wrap the right shoulder and most of the upper arm. 1. Overall Scope & Placement Body area: Right shoulder, deltoid, and the majority of the upper arm (from the top of the shoulder down to just above the elbow). Coverage: The design should flow around the curvature of the shoulder and wrap partially onto the front of the arm, creating a seamless “sleeve‑like” band that tapers slightly as it reaches the biceps. Size: Approx. 20 cm × 25 cm (height ≈ shoulder‑to‑mid‑bicep, width ≈ full shoulder width). Adjust proportionally to the client’s anatomy. 2. Core Motif – Jaguar Silhouette: Use a stylized, angular jaguar head as the central focal point. The head should be slightly turned outward (toward the front of the arm) so the eyes and snout are visible from the side view. Key features (abstracted): Eyes: Two sharp, almond‑shaped negative‑space “holes” (white) framed by thick, curved lines that mimic traditional Māori kōwhaiwhai wave motifs. Mouth & Teeth: A V‑shaped mouth line with three pointed teeth on each side, rendered as short, tapered spikes. Ears: Triangular, slightly pointed ears formed by overlapping manaia‑style feathered curves.
