For tattoo lovers, no area is off limits. Just like a painter, the body becomes your canvas, and every part of your body is free to get the tattoo design of your choice. For those who love tattoos but have not yet decided on the best part of their body to get their next tattoo design, here is a list of the 25 best places to get a tattoo, as well as some options for your next design.
1) biceps/upper arm
Perhaps one of the most common places to get a tattoo, a variety of different designs can go on the bicep area. It’s one of the most visible sections of your body (assuming you don’t wear long sleeves often), and more importantly, anything goes. Because the area is so easy to hide, it doesn’t matter which tattoo design you choose. Hearts on fire, skulls, love for your mother – there is no limit to the artwork you choose.
2) Ankle
Ankles, especially on women (but fine for men) are a great place to get a tattoo. The key here is to choose a tattoo design that is small and easy to spot, like a star or heart. If you choose something too complicated, it will appear to others that you have a skin color problem.
3) doll
One of the most popular tattoo designs these days is getting a bracelet tattooed on your arm. People like to change their accessories all the time, but for those who just like to see a little color on their wrists, this is a great place to get a look.
4) Lower Back
Another popular spot among women, a lower back tattoo has gotten a bad rap lately, but it’s still a great place to get a more intricate and symmetrical design, especially one that doesn’t have a specific meaning. Tribal tattoos are the most common, but Chinese letters are very popular here.
5) Chest
For men, a chest tattoo can be anything. The chest is where most men get their largest tattoo designs, as well as an area of skin that is used as an extension for other artwork that spans the entire body. For women, this is less common. In most cases, women get a small tattoo placed on their breast, rather than something more elaborate. Be careful what you get, as sagging can completely ruin a more elaborate design, and this is much more common in women than men.
6) Back of the neck
Like the ankle, the back of the neck is a better place for a small tattoo design, as anything too conspicuous could give the impression of skin discoloration. But the back of the neck is a good place for a star, a cross, and a variety of other symmetrical designs.
7) Navel
The navel is one of the least appreciated areas of the entire body. The same goes for body art, in which the navel can be decorated in multiple ways that are both sexy and artistic.
8) doll
The wrist is another area of the body that feels like it should be used more than it is. Almost everyone, both men and women, wears some type of bracelet on a daily basis. Most of the time, that bracelet is only replaced when it is lost or broken. You can easily decorate your wrist area with a tattoo design, essentially giving you a permanent bracelet that will never be lost and can always be added to.
9) Feet
Unlike the ankle, the foot is a great place for an elaborate design of your choosing. Most of the day you wear socks, and the color of the skin on your feet often does not match the tone of your legs, which see more of the sun. For that reason, your feet often stand out when they’re already barefoot. So why not decorate them with an attractive piece of art that you can show off to others?
10) Fingers
Here you can choose between an elaborate design that covers an entire finger or a smaller design that resembles a ring, in the same way that you can decorate your wrists with a bracelet. Full designs that cover a full finger are often very intriguing, but be sure to check out how they change the appearance of your hands before completing one.
11) Shoulders
The shoulders are a great place for a tattoo design, especially one that is more decorative than an element (for example, more artistic than just a skull or something more concrete). Shoulder tattoos often resemble the design style of lower back tattoos as they both tend to have the same interesting artistic twist. Tribal tattoos are especially common.
12) Mons Pubis
Some women like to get a tattoo on the mons pubis, which is the small mound of skin just above the female genitalia. There are several designs that can actually look pretty good in this area, but be aware that dyeing there can be quite painful.
13) Eyeballs
Happens. Some people enjoy getting a small eyeball tattoo. Let this be the last place you get a tattoo as it is probably the most painful and there are very few designs that really stand out on soft tissue.
14) Buttocks
An incredibly smooth area that few people are going to see unless you let them? A great place for any tattoo you want. The buttocks have a lot of clearly visible skin, with few bulges that could spoil your design. If you have a specific design that you want more than anything and you’re not sure if it will look good anywhere else, buttocks are the way to go. However, this area is prone to sagging, so if you needed an excuse to hit the gym, here it is.
15) Upper back
Like the buttocks, the upper back has a lot of skin and few bulges that can ruin your look. It doesn’t sink that much either. But as is often the case with body art, when something is as visible as your upper back, it’s often a good idea to choose a tattoo design that’s more symmetrical. The upper back is also a great place for words and phrases, if you’re into that kind of art.
16) forearms
There are no special rules about forearm tattoos. Just about every design style seems to work, and rarely does any of the artwork look like skin discoloration. That said, they are quite visible, so you want to make sure your workplace is ok with your ink.
17) Stomach
Your belly is a big canvas. It has a lot of skin, it’s only visible when you want it to be, and when it expands with age/weight gain it tends to do so quite fluidly so the design stretches with it.
18) scrotum
Some men like to get tattoos on the scrotum. It can be painful and few people will see it, but hey, it’s skin and it’s yours. Knock yourself out.
19) love handles
Often the side of her stomach is used to expand other designs, such as those on her chest, back, or stomach. But the side of your body shouldn’t be overlooked, and your love handle area can easily be tailored to your own design if you have something unique that works there.
20) Hamstrings
The back of the leg tends to stay very fit as you age, so it’s a good place to get tattoo designs if you’re worried about sagging or stretching ruining the design. Tribal tattoo designs don’t work as well here as they do in other areas, but you can still find several decent, more elaborate designs that fit well in this area.
21) Calves
Calves are a lot like hamstrings, except there’s less skin to fit the design, so it’s generally best to keep these designs a bit simpler, unless you’re planning on wrapping the entire leg. Some of the funniest designs that appear on the calves include peacock feathers and Chinese watercolor.
22) Face
The most devoted tattoo lovers use their entire body as a canvas, and the face remains a part of their body. If it weren’t for the stigma associated with those getting face tattoos, one would bet they would be more common, but unfortunately face tattoos can make it difficult to get a job or make a favorable first impression with someone more conservative. . That said, don’t forget that you can always create very small designs that will fit well in these areas. Some people like to put a little star on the edge of their eyebrow, and these are not very flashy and more socially acceptable.
23) Top of the head
If you can commit to being bald, you can commit to a scalp tattoo. For many, the tattoo is an extension of one on the neck, but once again, it is still a perfect canvas area for any type of body art.
24) Neck Front
One thing to avoid with any front neck tattoo design – you want to make sure that it doesn’t blend in with a chest tattoo and look like it is some type of extensive body hair.
25) perineum
The last place you can get tattooed is a place that not even your lovers can see. The perineum is the area of skin between the genitals and the anus, barely visible even to those who look for it. However, it’s still a patch of skin available, and it’s a fun place to put a little tattoo that’s a secret for only you to enjoy. This area is more visible on women than men, so women should be careful to put something noticeable, like a star or something cute and small, while men should make sure to choose a tattoo design not be seen. sickly, like a less elaborate word or drawing.
your body is your canvas
When it comes to tattoo designs, every patch of skin on your entire body is another space that can be filled with the artwork of your choice. Despite the above, there are no rules for these areas. If you are passionate about a type of tattoo and you are sure that it will not negatively affect your life, go for it. You have nothing to lose.
