Back of Neck

  • Best for: small designs
  • Pain levels: medium
  • Potential meaning: anything you like!

The back of your neck, just under your hair line, is a cute place to get a tattoo. Hide it with long hair and high-collared shirts, then show it off when you want to. Many people prefer a small tattoo in this area. A simple line drawing or symbol looks really nice here.

Of course, you can always combine your back of neck tattoo with a full back or shoulder tattoo to enhance and enlarge it.

Tattoos in this placement tend to be moderately painful. It’s not the worst choice for your first tattoo placement, however!

Thigh

  • Best for: large tattoos
  • Pain levels: low
  • Potential meaning: unique, hidden meanings

Depending on the exact placement, a thigh tattoo can be incredibly sexual, alluring and mysterious! This is a great tattoo placement if you want a large tattoo design that’s easy to hide and in a mildly intimate place.

The thick layers of flesh on your thighs (particularly if you are a woman) keep the tattoo needle away from your bones, so the pain will be at the lowest level for thigh tattoos.

Calve

  • Best for: large, medium and flowing designs
  • Pain levels: medium to very high
  • Potential meaning: strength and connection to the earth

What carries you and keeps you strong? You calves (lower legs) are a good tattoo placement to symbolize what helps you put one foot in front of the other.

But calve tattoos don’t need to have any particular meaning. If you live in a sunny climate where your legs are exposed a lot, then a calve tattoo can just be aesthetical and for decoration. Small tattoos tend to look a bit out of place on your lower legs (consider ankles instead) so large and medium tattoos that cover your entire calf or a good portion of it are more popular.
