Think about where you want to take your tattoo
Both the choice of the tattoo drawing and the area in which we are going to do it are due to very personal reasons: aesthetic, spiritual, vindictive, the need to communicate a message to another or remind ourselves, fashion ... If you are a newcomer and want to know the basic tips in general, it will be good for you to read this article.
Regarding the factors to consider a ideal area for tattooing, we can mention the following:
Society: As much as we like tattoos, unfortunately, it still represents a stigma in front of some people and companies. If you want to get a job, visible tattoos on face, teeth, neck and hands are not an ideal area. It is true that in some professional sectors it does not matter, but they are the least. Even the new fashion trend that has made models like Bradley Soleau, Michelle McGee or the Suicide girls soaring is temporary.
The criteria for choosing the tattoo area are varied
Esthetic: Time passes and the body accuses it. Unless it can be cultivated and maintained as the day we tattooed, the buttocks, inner part of the arm, stomach and breasts are a bad choice, since they are the areas that deteriorate the most, so the tattoo can lose its shape and quality. If the reason for choosing is aesthetic, we must take it into account.
PainAlthough some cultures consider pain as one of the essential requirements of tattoo symbolism, the rest of us mortals tend to fear it. Although each body is different, the most sensitive areas are, in general, those with little meat and, in particular, the tongue, head, neck, ribs, chakras, hands and wrists, knees and hams, feet and ankles and, of course, the genitals.
Anyway, what is the ideal area for tattooing? The one you want. It is your body, your life, your choice. Think about it with your head and, if you have convinced yourself that this is what you want, go ahead.
