Best Places To Get A Tattoo

The best places to get a tattoo depend on how big of an exhibitionist you are.  If you are into the whole self-expression thing and want the world to see your tattoo, you should have it placed where it can be easily viewed.  For those of you who are more secretive, there are plenty of places to get a tattoo without exposing yourself.

  1. The lower back is one of the best places to get a tattoo.  Although originally it was mostly women getting inked on their lower backs, lots of young men are opting for a lower back tattoo.  The best thing about a lower back tattoo is that you can keep it under wraps if you need to.  
  2. The arm is probably the most popular place to get a tattoo.  Arm tattoos are relatively painless and are great for showing off your artwork.  In fact, a majority of people who opt for tattoos get them on their arm.
  3. Even though it is one of the most painful spots to get a tattoo, the ankle is one of the best places to get a tattoo.  What makes it a great place is you have control over who sees it.  If you don't want to show it in certain settings, throw on some pants or socks.  If you want to show it off, a pair of shorts will help you do this.
  4. For the manly man, the chest tattoo is great for creating an allusion.  Chest tattoos will make your chest look larger and attract more attention than you normally would if you were showing off your scrawny, hairless chest.  
  5. Possibly the best place to get a tattoo for a man is on the neck.  The neck tattoo is growing increasingly popular.  Even though a tattoo on the neck can be painful to get, it is one that can hardly be missed.  A neck tattoo can consist of everything from your name to your kid's name.

Obviously, there are a number of places to get a tattoo, but these places are considered the best.  Wherever you opt to get a tattoo, try to be original in your choice of design.
