The ribs / side works best when the composition follows the anatomy instead of ignoring it. Flow, orientation, and scale matter more than an overstuffed concept.
In the current gallery, the most common style pairings are fine-line. That is useful because placement pages should help users compare what kinds of visual language actually behave well on the body.
How to brief a ribs / side tattoo before you generate or book
