7 Inconspicuous Tattoo Placement Ideas

Tattoos are a great way to edge up your style or have a permanent memory that is close to your heart. Either way, tattoos are always a good idea in my opinion. Selecting your next tattoo can involve a lot of time and thought. You want to make sure you are selecting a design and size that will be appropriate for the industry you work in or are planning to go into. I tend to lean towards smaller tattoos that don’t draw too much attention, just to be safe. But of course it’s up to you. If I had the guts to rock a large tattoo I would! Take it from one who has a couple of tattoos, deciding where to place your new tattoo idea is the hardest part of the process. Here are seven inconspicuous placement ideas for your next tattoo!

Back of the neck and ear.

The neck is one of my favorite places for tattoos. I have a small Chinese symbol on the upper back part of my neck. This is a great placement because the tattoo can be easily hidden by your hair. You can also pick and choose when you want to show off your tattoo. When I want my tattoo to be seen, I put my hair in either a bun or ponytail. Another great placement for tattoos is behind the ear. Again, you can pick and choose when you want your tattoo to be shown. You simply can’t go wrong with deciding to place your next tattoo on the back of your neck or behind your ear!

Hand.

A tattoo that is placed on the hand will always be seen. However, if you don’t want your tattoo to draw a lot of attention, you can always go the inconspicuous route! Finger tattoos are great placements for hand tattoos because they will usually be on the smaller side, which allows you to rock your tattoo freely without it drawing a lot of attention.

Wrist and forearm.

The wrist and forearm are also a couple of my favorite spots for inconspicuous tattoos. These areas are great for tattoos that you don't want to be easily seen or draw a lot of attention to because both the wrist and the forearm face your body, blocking the view of your tattoo from others. The wrist and forearm are go to spots for tattoos, no matter what design you decide on, it will fit just right on the wrist or forearm!

Side.

The side is the easiest place to hide a tattoo because it will be covered by your clothing. This is a great placement for your tattoos to be shown off in the summer time with a cute crop top or two piece swim suit!

Foot.

This is another great placement that can be easily hidden. You can pick and choose when you want your tattoo to be seen depending on the type of shoes you wear. A tattoo on the foot can be highlighted by a cute pair of pumps, wedges, or sandals. You simply can’t go wrong with this placement!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
