One of the most important choices facing people who desire a new tattoo is deciding where on the body to ink a tattoo design. It is crucial to deliberate that each area of the body has its own set of distinctive characteristics, and that these characteristics need to contemplated before a final decision is made. The most important factors to consider when deciding where to ink a new tattoo are the subject of this article.
Each body area has its own unique form and size that dictates the size of the tattoo that can be positioned on it. For this reason it is important to simultaneously think about the tattoo design that you want to ink, as well as where you want to ink it. For example, if you decide that you want a big tattoo, you will have to position it on a body area that provides a big enough canvas size. The largest body areas for inking big tattoo designs are the chest and back. Small tattoos can be sited pretty much anywhere. Some areas of the body, such as the ankle, are too small to accommodate anything but the smallest designs.
If you plan to tattoo a large design, think about the possibility of extending the tattoo to other body areas. Many people have tribal tattoo designs that extend the length of the arm up to the shoulder, then continue down the back or chest.
A factor that is crucial to many people is how easily a tattoo can be concealed, or exposed to the world. many people who want to get a new tattoo are employees of businesses that enforce a no tattoo policy. It is therefore crucial for many people to be able to easily cover up their tattoos while at work. On the flip side, some people like to be able to show off their tattoo and prefer to tattoo body sites that are more exposed.
Another fundamental factor to deliberate is the pain associated with inking each different body area. Pain is not a fundamental factor for all tattoo enthusiasts, but is often essential to newbie's planning thier first tattoo. The pain that is experienced when getting tattooed varies depending on the placement of the tattoo. Generally speaking, fleshy areas such as the calf tend to be less painful to ink than very bony areas such as the ankle. Its also fundamental to bare in mind that large, complex tattoo designs take longer to tattoo than smaller designs, meaning that the associated pain has to be endured for a longer period of time.
There are an enormous number of body placement options for people planning a new tattoo, and I encourage all tattoo enthusiasts to take the time to carefully consider their options. It is crucial to thoughtfully deliberate the tattoo design itself as well as where on the body it will be inked, in order to ensure that the two are compatible with each other. Asking a reputable tattoo artist for their advice is also a vital part of planning where to site a new tattoo. Taking the time to think about your options is the most essential thing to do. Tattoos are lifetime commitments, and people who don't take the time to deliberate their options often regret their choices later on in life.
