Placement of my next tattoos

10 replies

Mardybum249 · 13/07/2021 23:39

So I never wanted a tattoo, then I turned 32 and suddenly started seeing them in a different light and ended up with a wildflower one curving down the side boob on my left hand side (it's only a few inches long similar position to the side boob photo, but that one isn't mine)

Then a year later I got another, a Dandelion turning into birds which is on my back on the right (offside mid torso)
That was it, I was done.

Then I've recently decided that I really want at least 1 more, maybe 2, but am concerned about placement.

I like them hidden so find my torso is much easier to work with, but as I have side boob on the left and mid torso on the right I'm not sure where best to have them.

I quite like other wildflower designs and that would fit with what I have, but also like some more geometric options.
These are some of the designs I like.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

You could get something geometric under your boobs?
I've got a daisy chain going from my left hip up my side and round my back, but if you've already got side boob and back, that kind of placement might be a bit too much going on...

@cheeseycheeseycheesecheese It's tricky as I don't want to encroach on what I already have so think should I go similar so that it can be close to one I already have and it will tie in, but actually I quite fancy something a bit different. I like the 2 geometric ones, but then they'd need to place separate enough to my current ones.
And obviously being tattoos I want them to place right.
These are my current placements

I have 1 on each shoulder blade, one on my ankle and my latest is at the top of my thigh

You seem to like quite subtle ones. That middle one on inner arm is nice

Mardybum249 · 14/07/2021 08:27

@branleuse yes definitely prefer subtle ones. I like the artistry side, like they are pencil drawings or something. The top 3 are the ones I'm thinking of getting (my faves are middle and right)
I'm trying to find somewhere that I can see has done similar work before (even though they are rather basic tattoos so pretty sure all tattooists could easy complete to a high standard) as they always say to check out the artist.

Wondering if they'll have good suggestions of placement because I still want them to be easily concealed under clothing.

what about under breasts? In the middle. I cant remember what different placements are called

Mardybum249 · 14/07/2021 08:58

That's got potential, although I'm not sure about the pain. I know ribs is supposed to be quite shifty for that, but not sure if my side boob one counts as ribs?!
If so then I know I can handle it.
I wonder if slightly off centre could be nice, maybe at an angle to curve to my body a little?

well it will be painful. Most of the places that arent that painful are the places that you wont as easily hide with clothes.
Side rib would def be painful and youve done that.

You may try to get a tattoo on your lower abdomen, but it hurts a lot and I'm not sure that the designs you there are fit.
