A single flower, a meaningful symbol (angel wings, cat outline, star, etc.) or mandala style design looks lovely here. The area is very visible, so the aim is to create something other people will “ooh” and “aaah” at.
Just bear in mind that the wrist is regularly exposed to sunlight, so it will fade much faster.

Hip
Best for: medium symbols and large designs
Pain levels: low
Potential meaning: expressing your femininity
Hips are another tattoo placement area that’s very popular with women. They’re also very versatile. You could get a tiny ladybug tattoo on that fleshy spot between your hip bone and stomach, for example. Or if you wanted a large tattoo, you could get a flowing floral design that swirls from your lower ribs down over your hip and to your upper thigh.
As the area around here is very fleshy (apart from the hip bone itself) it’s one of the least painful places and a good option for large tattoos if you have low pain tolerance.
Forearm
Best for: long designs with medium detail
Pain levels: moderate
Potential meaning: guidance
A tattoo on your forearm could mean guidance – something that leads you down the path of destiny. Most of the time, however, a forearm tattoo or full-blown sleeve is just a great place to decorate your body with meaningful/beautiful designs where others can see it. And it can be covered with long shirt sleeves, if needed.
The pain in this area is moderate – the inside of your forearm can be quite sensitive but it’s not overly boney. Long, thin tattoos and even portraits fit nicely in this area.
Upper Arm
Best for: large and medium designs
Pain levels: low to medium
Potential meaning: strength!
Tattoos on the inside or outside of your upper arm can be a brilliant way to show off your muscles, right? Well, not always. This great area of your body creates a nice, smooth and low-pain canvas for any design.
