What the research says
placement_anatomy- Category
- torso
- Available area
- Not banded alone by the cited chart; it appears only inside an extra-large combination.
- Cultural flags
- Appears in the cited source only inside a Japanese body-suit extent. Flagged for T11.10 rather than described from that sentence.
- Expansion path
- Part of the chart largest named extent - Full back + buttocks + back of thighs (traditionally used for Japanese body suits) - whose tradition scoping is routed to T11.10 and not encoded.
- Conflicts or cautions
- The motif value tattooed as a pair, one on each buttock resolves to composition_bilateral_pair plus this placement; it is a two-sided arrangement, not a symmetrical one.
Provenance
1 resolvedTattooing 101
Professional tattoo-education page and the primary placement source for this batch. It is the only fetched source that bands EVERY body area by the size of work it holds - small, medium, large and extra-large - which is what makes the available_area and scale_behavior columns answerable at all. It also supplies the fit rule (“a forearm tattoo shouldn’t wrap so far around the arm that it overlaps”), the design-expansion warning, and two orientation rules. IMPORTANT NEGATIVE FINDING, recorded because it bears directly on what this corpus may claim: the page states “Tattoo placements don’t have any specific meaning tied to them.” That is a Tier 2 trade claim about the modern Western commercial context in which the page is written. IT DOES NOT AND CANNOT SETTLE whether placement carries meaning or restriction in any cultural tradition - two Tier 1 museum sources in this same batch record placements that do. The claim is recorded, scoped, and NOT used to suppress a cultural placement rule anywhere in the corpus.

Promoted from motifs_seed.placement_behaviors of motif_propeller ('buttocks') [class EP]. PLACEMENT AXIS. Typed associated_with, not placement_supports: the packs use placement_supports only as placement -> composition (doc 01 'forearm -> placement_supports -> vertical_composition'; specimen rel_0004), and model motif -> placement as 'anatomy_fit', which is not in the locked 14. The placement_ target prefix carries the axis. The cited source states this placement. No new fact: this edge restates a value already present in the corpus.
