Tattoo Positions

The style and design of your choice of tattoo remain of most importance. However a key factor to consider when planning your new, or even first piece of art must be its position on your body.

This is an intensely personal choice, and must not hindered by outside influences such as partners and family members. The position of your new tattoo may have a bearing on a future career and also on where you can place future tattoos, should you choose to have more.

So it's an important part of the planning process.

Below is a list of potential tattoo positions. With some of their plus and minus points.

1. Biceps.

A great place to start. I find this location to be the easiest to deal with the inevitable pain involved in the tattoo, possibly due to the amount of flesh under the skin. Be aware that if you're planning any kind of sleeve in the future to decide now on the tattoo style. Two or more different styles on the sleeve might not work as well as one continuous one.

2. Forearms.

Similar to the bicep area. Easy area for the tattoo artist to work on. Not as painful as some other areas. The key here is that in the summer weather your tattoo WILL BE VISIBLE. You need to be comfortable with that. Also bear in mind the point about the full sleeve mentioned at number 1.

3. Legs (upper and Lower).

Won't be as frequently visible as the arms (unless you're a nudist) except when you're wearing shorts. The upper leg is fleshy so the pain is similar to that of the bicep. The lower you go the less flesh there is (on most people) and it will smart more.

4. Back (upper and lower).

Consider how big your tattoo is going to be. If the design requires size in order for it to work then think about a full back piece. This will work a lot better than lots of individual tattoos all over your back (which look stupid and ill thought out in my opinion).

If it's a smaller design then consider the left or right shoulder-blade for placement. This is an ideal location and is very popular. There's less flesh in this area so it will probably hurt more. Putting a small design right in the middle of your back will look silly as the body area is too big for it. Either go upper or lower. A popular position these days is along the lower back. Most tribal and script designs are well suited to this position. In my opinion this is a more sensitive area and will hurt more. Anything around the spinal area will definitely hurt more. But everybody's different. Obviously unless the sun is out not many people are going to see these tattoos. This may be a positive aspect if you're looking to keep the tattoo more intimate.

5. Chest/Stomach.
Similar really to the back area in that if the design is big it can cover the whole area. Smaller designs should be positioned on the left or right pec/breast. The tattoo artist can go around your nipples and they should not compromise the design. I find the stomach to be a very sensitive area pain wise, more so that the chest. But like I said everybody's different.

6. Head/face.

Unless you're a truly hardcore tattoo fan I'd stay away from these areas. They are the parts of your body that are always exposed to weather so they are likely to deteriorate/age a lot quicker. They are very "in your face" (no pun intended). You will get stared at a lot in public. They will hurt a lot due to the lack of flesh.

7. Hands/wrists.

Not as "in your face" as the head but they will still get noticed. The areas are lacking in flesh so will hurt more than other locations. Hand tattoos are more popular these days, especially with the ladies. There are many designs that suit the hands well and tend to be more intricate, smaller designs. The hand could also be incorporated into an arm sleeve design so think about your long-term tattoo plans before covering this area.

8. Ankles/feet.

Another set of areas that could be incorporated in a leg sleeve so again think about your long-term plans. These are easily hidden and can remain somewhat intimate.

I have two tattoos on my ankles and they didn't hurt a bit. Other friends have said that theirs were excruciating, so the jury is out. What I have discovered from research with friends is that tattooing the feet HURTS A LOT. I don't have any tattoos on my feet!

Positions of the tattoo

This is intensely personal liking i must unencumbered external factors such as partners and family members. Position new tattoo can have an impact on future career development and also where can I place the future tattoos, should you chose to have more.

This is an important part of the planning process.

Below is a list of potential items of tattoo. With some of the plus and minus points.

1. Dwuglowy

Great place to place. Find this location is the easiest to deal with unavoidable pain involved in the tattoo, probably due to the amount of the flesh under the skin. Remember that if you're planning any kind of future Turbine now decide on a style of tattoo. Two or more different styles on the cover may not work as well as one continuous.

2. the Forearms.

As with the bicep area. Easy area for the tattoo artist to work on. Not as painful as some other areas. Here the key is that in the summer, the weather, your tattoo will be visible. You must be comfortable with that. Bear in mind the point with full sleeve listed under number 1.

3. Leg (upper and lower)

You will not be so often seen as a weapon (unless you're a nudist) except when you're wearing shorts. Part of the upper leg is fleshy, so the pain is similar to the bicep. The lower, you will be less flesh (for most people) is and will be more intelligent.

4. Back (upper and lower)

Consider how large your tattoo is going to be. If a project requires the size of it to work, and then think of a piece of full back. This will work much better than lots of individual tattoos all over your back (that look stupid and ill-thought, in my opinion).

If it with smaller dimensions, then consider the blade shoulder of the left or right for placement. This is the ideal location and is very popular. This area is less flesh, so will likely it hurt more. Putting small design right in the middle of the copy will look silly, as the area of the body is too large for him. Go to either the top or bottom. Popular posts these days is along the lower back. Most of the tribal and script projects are well suited to this position. I think this is a more sensitive and will hurt more. All around the area will definitely hurt more spinal. But everybody's different. Of course, unless the Sun is beyond not many people will See these tattoos. This can be a positive aspect, if you are looking for a more intimate space tattoo.

5. Chest/stomach
Like really to the area back in that if a project is large it may cover the entire area. Smaller projects should be positioned at the left or right pec/breast. Tattoo artist you can go around Your grease nipples and should not compromise the project. Find more for gastric pain very sensitive area Wise, so that the chest. But as I said, everybody's different.

5. the head of the face.

If you're not a fan of the truly hardcore tattoo would I stay outside these areas. They are part of the body, which are always exposed to the weather, so they are probably degrade/aged much faster. They are very "in your face" (no Pun intended). You will get stared at Geri in public. They will it hurt due to the lack of flesh.

6. Hands/wrists

Not as "in your face" as the head but they will still get noticed. The areas are lacking in the flesh so will hurt more than other locations. Arm tattoos are more popular these days, especially with the ladies. There are many projects that well suit hands and appear to be more complex, the smaller projects. Hand also could be incorporated into the arm design Make long term plans before the tattoo covering this area.

7. the ankles/feet

Another set of areas that could be used in Yes reconsider its long-term plans of the leg sleeve. They are easily hidden, and may remain somewhat intimate.

I have two tattoos on my ankles and didn't hurt a bit. Other friends have said that the right to vote were Excruciating, so the jury is out. What are test with friends I discovered is that tattooing foot HURTS A LOT. I don't have any tattoos on my feet!
