Tattoo Location

Deciding on the location of your tattoo should be done before actually getting inked. Deciding spontaneously can be a big mistake and it can not be reversed. Deciding on the location of your tattoo takes into consideration many factors, including pain level, size of the tattoo, body part and price. Some spots are more painful than others and accordingly the hard to tattoo spots are also more expensive than easy ones. Deciding on the location of your tattoo needs time and if necessary the opinion of an expert should be heard.

Deciding on the location of your tattoo should not only reflect on today, but you will also have to think ahead and consider if this tattoo will one day be objectionable or if will even hinder you from getting a good job. If this will one day be important, deciding on the location of your tattoo will be easier because you can already take easy to see spots off the list of possibilities. This could be, for example, neck, face and hands and deciding on the location of your tattoo should consider this fact, as well as the fact that many people are prejudiced against those with tattoos and if you work with or need to rely on people for your career this will be disadvantageous.

Deciding on the location of your tattoo can also be based on level of pain. It is logical that sensitive body parts will hurt more than other ones. If a not so painful spot is important when deciding on the location of your tattoo then you can either research it or just simply ask the tattoo artist to recommend a place. Generally speaking though, the shoulder, chest and upper arm areas are least painful whereas areas like the lower back, ankle and neck hurt a lot.

Another consideration when deciding on the location of your tattoo is the size of the design. A large design, for example, will not fit on a small area such as ankle and on the other hand a small design may seem lost in a large area like the back. The body part also plays a role in deciding on the location of your tattoo, because some parts are move more than others and some are more prone to signs of aging. Women who want a stomach tattoo should also think of their future plans before deciding on the location of your tattoo, because when pregnant the skin stretches and no matter how beautiful the design was, it will look bad afterwards and the worst part is that it will still be there though. Wrinkles and signs of aging will also affect how a tattoo looks and since everyone ages this should be a part of deciding on the location of your tattoo.

Deciding on the location of your tattoo is a major part of the tattooing process and should not be taken lightly. Although many do not think there is so much to keep in mind, deciding on the location of your tattoo should not be left up to someone else or simply ignored.
