You have decided that you want a tattoo, and are ready to pick out a design. Before you do this though, you need to figure out where you are putting your tattoo, as it will affect the size and context of your design. Most women like to place their tattoos somewhere sexy so they can attract attention from the opposite sex. And why not, that’s pretty much what tattoos are for right?
Here are some of the sexiest places to put a tattoo:
1.Lower back: with low-rise jeans still in style, this is the perfect place for a tattoo. Most designs in this area use somewhat of a triangular shape with the point facing down, so the eye is drawn to your lower half. This is also a great surface to put a large, sprawling tattoo, and is easy to cover up if you are going to work.
2.Upper breast: since most guys are looking there anyways, why not give them something to look at? Tattoos in this area are generally smaller, with symbols such as flowers, bees, dragonflies and butterflies being very popular.
3.Ankle: if you have great legs then an ankle tattoo is perfect, it will draw the eye to that narrow part of you and then go on from there. Again you will probably want to stick to a smaller tattoo in this area.
4.Wrist: slender, soft, and usually lightly scented, the wrist is an overlooked sexy place on our bodies. Place a small tattoo on the inside of your wrist and notice the attention you get!
5.Shoulder: show off your inner Playboy Bunny with a sexy tattoo on the back of your shoulder, and then go buy some strappy tank tops. You have a great surface where you can place a nice-sized tattoo and get noticed.
6.Back of Neck: As long as you stick with something small, this is a great location for an Asian symbol or something unique. Of course the neck is supremely sexy, and having a cute or interesting tattoo there is a great conversation starter.
There are other, more risqué place where you can put a tattoo, it just depends on who you want to see it. Here are a few suggestions:
1.Above pubic area: perfect for a small, sexy tattoo that your special someone can see.
2.Hip: low rise jeans or a bathing suit can let you show off your little friend.
3.Underneath a bra strap: there’s nothing like finding a cute tattoo on your girlfriend while she’s stripping down.
4.Inner thigh: this is definitely a members-only area, so get a symbol that he’ll really like.
5.Around belly button: there are some great tattoo patterns for this area, and it is a perfect spot if you are sporting a flat belly.
6.Tailbone: again, this spot is reserved for your special someone, so choose carefully.
A tattoo is forever, so you will want to spend a lot of time choosing your spot and your design, and then talk to a qualified tattoo artist to see if they have any suggestions or pointers.
