I love tattoos! I love them on me and I love them on people! I think it’s a dope way to show expression, art, and creativity — even if it means sitting thru hours of pain! Ah yes, pain! The very reason many people opt out of getting inked in the first place! Cause the reality is, tattoos hurt! Especially when you get them on certain parts of your body! Some will argue, tattoo placement doesn’t matter because tattoos hurt regardless! If you know, you know!

Maybe you’re considering your first tattoo! You figured out what you want and the tattoo artist you want to ink you — before you lock in on the where, consider these options! Tattoo placement is more critical then you think. It can determine the amount of pain, how long the tattoo lasts, and how others can perceive it.

So let’s get into it! 1st of all, body placement is key because tattoos can look crazy if they’re not placed right. For example: Sleeves look good on your arm but one minimal tattoo on that same arm, can look out of place! Of course to each their own if that’s truly what you want, but it’s something to consider. More dainty tattoos works for your ankle or your hand, but a dainty tattoo on your thigh, might look incomplete.

Other factors important for tattoo placement are:
1. Will you need to cover up your tattoo for professional reasons?
2. Will the tattoo be exposed to sunlight often and risk fading?
