Color choices significantly affect the overall mood - vibrant hues create energy and movement, while monochromatic palettes offer timeless elegance. Consider how the design will flow with your body's natural contours and existing tattoos.

Consider visibility preferences - forearms and calves for display, ribs or hip for intimate placement. The carnation design should complement your body's natural lines.
