Every tattoo is a symbolic sign, but the placement of one reveals more about your story and personality than simply representing a design on your skin.
Neck
The back of the neck makes an attractive location for a small tattoo, easily hidden by long hair or high-collared clothing. A line drawing or symbol would look particularly striking here.
Chest
Chests make great places for discreet tattoos that can easily be concealed, such as delicate outline tattoos of flowers or other appealing motifs that add elegance and allure. Those wanting a tattoo on their chest should ensure they wax or shave regularly to prevent distortion from clothing while getting one on their sternum provides another discrete placement that won’t show under swimsuits.
Back
tattoos on the back are becoming an increasingly popular trend, since this area doesn’t usually receive direct sunlight and can easily be concealed for work. A wrist tattoo can look cute based on its size and style. Plus, it’s easily concealable under long hair or high-collared shirts! Furthermore, the pain threshold for these tattoos is generally moderately intense.
Arms
Tattoos carry deep symbolic significance, and their placement speaks volumes about who wears them. A prominent forearm tattoo conveys confidence and an eagerness to shine brightly in the spotlight. Tattoo designs with delicate and detailed patterns should be placed on areas less exposed to sunlight, such as inner arms, ribs, or upper legs – mainly if they feature colors.
Hands
tattoos on the hands tend to be more noticeable than tattoos in other areas of the body, requiring periodic touch-ups; however, they can create an eye-catching piece with the right design in place; illustrative tattoos look especially great on hands because fingers can create their borders. Other popular options for hands include meaningful symbols or mandala designs – which also make an excellent spot for concealment at work!
Legs
Leg tattoos provide another excellent canvas for large designs that can easily be hidden with clothing while being less susceptible to wrinkles and shape changes than other body areas. This placement is ideal for creating beautiful script tattoos that emphasize feminine curves. Yet, it can be painful to get tatted there, making this option less suitable for people with low pain thresholds.
Foot
Foot tattoos are becoming increasingly popular among girls. They can serve as a subtle expression of affection or an adorable reminder. From black or colorful designs, foot tattoos look fantastic with flip-flops or summer sandals. Feathers make for a stunning tattoo design on feet, symbolizing hope, speed, fertility, and inspiration. This adorable cheetah tattoo serves as a gentle reminder for its wearer to remain strong, representing nature and inspiring them to experience all life has to offer.
Shoulders
Tattoos on women’s shoulders make an excellent fashion statement while being easily concealed or revealed depending on your clothing choices. Flowers, kanji characters, and celestial images are popular shoulder tattoo designs for this area of their bodies. Men with broad shoulders may opt for intricate designs that extend into their shoulder blades, such as intricate floral or dragonfly tattoos that symbolize strength and power. Also, an enchanting flower known as Tropaeolum makes an eye-catching choice as a tattoo choice on this body part.
Neck
The neck makes an ideal location for discrete tattoos that can easily blend in. Delicate designs such as roses look beautiful here, especially framed by the hairline. People who opt for neck tattoos tend to be free spirits who know how to express themselves without showing it off too much; their ink may also be subtly placed in this space, creating subtle yet pretty designs on this delicate body part. The results can often be eye-catching designs.
Ears
Ear tattoos are an excellent choice for women because they are feminine yet discreet and complement piercings well. Tattooing this delicate dove behind the ear is a beautiful idea to symbolize peace, love, and forgiveness. An elegant date tattoo is another popular ear tattoo design, often showing off an essential moment from one’s life. Plus, its lines look fantastic.
Face
Sometimes clients bring in designs they like, but they need to fit into the location they want them. This is particularly common with designs featuring faces. When this happens, we often rework them so they flow like a tattoo on that body part chosen as placement. Apps like INKHUNTER allow clients to visualize how it will look before getting their tattoo.
