The placement of tattoo is also a matter that should be given more consideration. The main factor while tattooing is the size of the tattoo and the safest area we can place the tattoo. The safest and the preferred one are the back, chest, and the thigh. The arm also has its own importance for small and trendy designs. We should think and decide properly when we are planning to have a tattoo work. The reason is that the permanent tattoos are long lasting and we should think about our future and should keep in mind that we will have to bear this piece of art for the whole life. The best example we can demonstrate is the face. Face is the first and the most visible area of our body. If we are doing a tattoo on the face, it will not be a big issue now, but when we are going for a job it will be a negative factor for getting a good job. So tattoo on your body parts has its own problems.
The first thing we should think about when we plan to do tattooing is that all our body parts are not created equally. Also the skin on our body is not the same everywhere, so the tattoo pigmentation will not be the same on all parts of the body. Every part of our body skin is designed in a different manner. In some areas skin is harder and they are meant for protection. In some areas like elbows, knees, knuckles, and feet the skin may fade out and the tattoo may not look good. In some areas of our body where the tattoos are designed, crease will result in the line spreading out.
The first choice and the best place for tattooing is the lower back. This will probably be the first choice where a woman will look for getting a tattoo for the first time. This will be sensual and sexy, which can be exposed while on the beach and covered while at the office. The place you can share with your lover and can hide from the rest of the crowd.
Tattoos on the wrist are also popular and can be hidden under bracelets or a watch if we do not want to expose it, depending on the occasion.
Upper chest is one standard area which is preferred by both men and woman. There are lot of areas where we can get good tattoos and a considerably large tattoo. This is the area where we can get a symmetrical picture on both sides of the body which will be very attractive. In some cases women’s breast is also a part where a small piece of tattoo can be placed and it gives a trendy affect, but should be careful while tattooing this area because sagging of the skin is possible in this area.
Thighs and hips are popular areas in the case of women for a large piece of tattoo. This can be showed well while wearing a bathing suit and is also concealable in case of modest shorts. The thigh area is also a good one because the entire area is bigger than the back and we can have a nice and a big piece of work over there. Calves are also a good area for tattooing but should be careful about the hairs.
Ankles are also safest part for tattooing and they are currently trendy. It is good to have an ankle tattoo either on the outer ankle or the inner ankle. Find something which can go around in a band. Vegetation and vines are popular in this area.
Upper arm is one of the most common and popular area for men and in case of some woman also. The only problem is the sun to which it will be constantly exposed to. We should wear sunblock regularly otherwise it may fade or become blurred.
Shoulder blades are also a popular area for women. They can be shown off by wearing a tank top or a bathing suit. Back is the largest area where we can have a tattoo. It is also a safe place for tattooing. You can use the entire area for tattooing and we can make it as large as one wishes.
