People love word tattoos because they are reminders of feelings, strength, and motivation. Here are some excellent places to get a word tattoo so it stays visible and meaningful.
Shoulder Blades
Shoulder blade tattoos are popular for words. There’s plenty of space for designs, from flowers to quotes.
Some people might not find getting a tattoo on the shoulder blade painful. But it’s good to talk to an artist first. They can advise on the best designs and how fast the tattoo might fade.
Forearm
The forearm is an excellent spot for a word tattoo that expresses your feelings.
Forearm tattoos are becoming more popular because they are easy to see. They also provide plenty of space for one-word tattoos and can be hidden under clothing.
Forearm tattoos might not hurt as much as tattoos on the back or thigh. Plus, the tattoo might last longer because the skin on the forearm is thicker, which could prevent fading.
Ribcage
People love ribcage tattoos for their meaningful designs. But getting a ribcage tattoo can hurt because the skin is thin and close to the bones.
If you want a big side tattoo, think carefully.
Drawing straight lines on the ribcage can be challenging because of the bones. But many great designs look good on a ribcage.
A quote tattoo on the ribcage can remind you to live according to your values and goals.
Foot
Word tattoos can add depth to your design. You could honor someone or use the tattoo to express yourself.
El from Insider advises you to think long-term when you decide where to put text on your body art. Try to avoid words you might not like in 10 years.
Ribcage tattoos can also be an excellent place to add words or quotes to a design, especially for men. But more women are also choosing this spot in recent years.
Inner Wrists & Ankles
The inner wrists and ankles are good places for word tattoos. These areas are less boney than shoulder blades, so getting a tattoo there might hurt less. Plus, you can easily hide these tattoos at work or while sleeping.
Long quotes can look good in these spots. Even a meaningful letter can work. For examples, look at Selena Gomez’s cursive “g” behind her left ear or Zoe Kravitz’s doodle behind her left ear.
