Tattoo Placement Guide: Choosing the Right Spot for Your Design

A great design in the wrong place becomes a bad tattoo. You must consider visibility, pain, and aging.

The Forearm

High visibility, low pain. Perfect for text and detailed fine line work that you want to show off daily.

The Ribs

High pain, low visibility. A private, intimate spot often used for personal quotes or delicate floral flows.

The Thigh

The 'New Canvas'. A large, relatively flat area with low pain, perfect for large-scale portraits or mandalas that need space to breathe without warping.
