Tattoo locations are an important aspect to think about when getting a tattoo.

In our current era of free expression, tattoos have been the go-to way to express hopes, passions or beliefs. There are tons of different types of tattoo styles, but after you painstakingly sketch or pick out your body art, where do you put it?

Many people don’t realize the maintenance that goes into tattoos. Upkeep is very important, especially when you’ve got smaller tattoos or finger tattoos. This means you won’t have to simply go through the pain once, but multiple times throughout your lifetime to get touch-ups.

So, why make this experience any more painful than it has to be? To help, ENTITY’s compiled a list of the top places on your body that are relatively bearable.

1 The Front and Side of Your Thighs.

The front and side of the thighs are the fleshiest parts of our bodies. Because of this, the thighs are relatively painless. However, this part of the body also stretches and sags the fastest throughout time.

So, if you do get a tattoo in this area, make sure it looks just as good enlarged or textured.

2 Your Upper and Middle Back

The upper and middle back is an oldie but goodie for tattoo locations. This is for many reasons: it can be hidden – if necessary – and there is plenty of room for an intricate and/or large tattoo.

If your tattoo is large and you still want to work at a corporate job later but you want to be able to show it off here and there, this is the perfect place for you.

3 Your Butt

The butt is the most adventurous tattoo location on this list.

It’s ideal if you want a painless experience but you don’t want to sacrifice the risqué thrill. Due to the fact this area is also fleshy, this area remains relatively pain-free.

4 Your Outer Shoulder

Your outer shoulder makes this list because there are very few nerve endings in our shoulders and it also tends to be padded by muscle or fat. This part of your body works for your painless objective; however, it’s rounded nature makes the job a bit harder for your tattoo artist.

5 Your Shins

The shins are probably the least utilized place on the body for tattoos, but it remains one of the few places that are painless… for some. How much it hurts is highly dependent on your body’s shape in that area.

Since the shin is one long bone, it can be painful for people who have thin legs. But if your legs run on the thick side, then this is the spot for you.

6 Your Calves

Your calves are also an ideal tattoo location. Since they are pure muscle or flesh, you would hardly feel anything during the tattoo process. This area is also a place many people choose to get intricate tattoos.

7 Your Upper Arm and Forearm

Lastly, the upper arm and forearm make great painless tattoo locations.

Similar to the upper and middle back, this part of the body is a frequent place to get tattooed. On the other hand, it’s an area that stretches and sags as you get older. Therefore, be wary when you choose what to tattoo on this area.

Frankly, any place where you have a lot of fat or muscle should be relatively painless because nerve endings don’t travel far through these forms for cell tissue.

And if a painless experience is your focus when getting a tattoo, absolutely try to avoid these hypersensitive areas:

  • Lips
  • Ribs
  • Fingers
  • Feet
  • Behind the ear
  • Hips
  • Genitals

There are many war stories where people talk about passing out from the needle or needing multiple parlor visits to spread out the torture. Good thing you have this article to help guide you.

Here’s to painless but equally artistic expression!
