What’s real is that, unless you’re willing to undergo a few laser sessions (which are painful and leave scars), your tattoo is going to be with you for the rest of your life. So, you should be really sure that you want to have the image of a marijuana-smoking unicorn on your arm for the rest of your life, and that you’ve found the right person to bring your vision to life and put it on your body, and a few other things that will help you make better decisions.
Getting your first tattoo is exciting, you’re a bit nervous because you don’t know what you’re going to feel or how it’s going to turn out, but it’s not just about the excitement, you need to do your homework so you don’t regret it later and so you can start your collection in the best way possible (because a tattoo is never just a tattoo, it’s addictive and it’s likely that the first one will turn into a second, a third, and many more).
No, but not thinking a little bit before can lead you to end up with a misspelled tattoo, an offensive design, or a bill that’s much higher than you expected to pay.
Where to Get a Tattoo
Are you thinking of getting a tattoo but don’t know where to put it? Don’t worry, I’ll tell you 7 body parts where you can get a tattoo that will look amazing!
There are many body parts where you can get a tattoo, but not all of them will look good or be visible as you want. And if you choose the wrong place, it can be very painful. That’s why in this section, I’ll tell you 7 body parts that are less painful and will look amazing!
Back Tattoos
The back can be a good choice, in fact, it’s very common for people to get tattoos in this area. With a good technique and an excellent design, you can get a beautiful visual effect, whether you cover the entire back or opt for a more discreet one on the shoulder blade or in the region that covers the spine. You can enhance your attributes on the back and, at the same time, give it a meaning from a memory of a loved one.
Leg Tattoos
The leg area is very suitable for a large tattoo and can be visible when wearing shorts or skirts. If you want to get a tattoo on your legs, keep in mind that you need to find a design that you like and that is attractive, but finding the right image can take some time. However, remember that it’s better to choose the one that convinces you the most since it’s an image that you’ll have on your skin permanently.
Finger Tattoos
Although it’s a smaller area and there’s not much space to tattoo, you can get amazing tattoos on a single finger. It’s one of the most common places where a girl can get a tattoo.
Arm Tattoos
In the arm area, you can get very good designs that cover the entire area, starting from the shoulder and reaching the wrist. If you think it’s too much like a sleeve, there are other options, such as a tattoo on the upper part of your arm, covering the biceps, or a smaller design around it.
Forearm Tattoos
A tattoo on the forearm is one of the best choices, as it’s not a painful area to get tattooed and it’s a wide area that you can take advantage of. From a tree to a large landscape, you can place it in this part of your body. Plus, it’s one of the most visible places if you want to show off your new tattoo.
Chest Tattoos
This is one of the body parts preferred by men to get a tattoo, as it provides a large space to get tattooed and is one of the less painful areas. Of course, it’s also a popular area among women, although they usually get tattoos on the sternum, below the bust, where it hurts more. However, you can get incredible results with chest tattoos.
Elbow Tattoos
The elbow is a special place for a tattoo, as long as you take into account the posture and natural shape of this area so that the image you want to get looks good in its normal posture. Although this area is a bit painful compared to others, as it’s bone and you’re tattooing on it, the good thing is that it’s quite eye-catching and you can be very creative when choosing the design.
Preparing for Your Tattoo Session
Knowing what to do before your tattoo session can make the entire process much more comfortable and efficient for you.
1. Get a Good Night’s Sleep
Getting a good night’s sleep is crucial to being alert and feeling less pain. The more still you are, the better your tattoo artist can work. If you’re tired during your session, your appointment will feel longer and your body will become more sensitive to pain. Get a good night’s sleep; you’ll thank yourself during your session.
2. Drink Plenty of Water
Drink plenty of water 24 hours before your appointment. Try to drink eight glasses of water to ensure your body is in the best possible shape. This will ensure your skin is naturally hydrated for the session. Hydrated skin absorbs ink much better than dry skin. If you feel thirsty during the tattoo, ask your tattoo artist or studio manager for water.
3. Shave If Possible
If the area to be tattooed has body hair, it’s recommended that you shave before your appointment. This will help speed up the preparation process and reduce your wait time. If you can’t do it yourself, your tattoo artist will shave the area.
4. Hydrate Your Skin
Don’t over-moisturize your skin on the day of your tattoo. Your tattoo artist will moisturize your skin during the session. We recommend moisturizing your skin 1-2 times a day for 5 days before your tattoo. During the winter months, your skin may dry out more than usual, so you may need to moisturize a bit more.
5. Eat Well
Eat well before your appointment. You’ll need your energy, especially for long sessions. A healthy and balanced meal will help your body cope with the pain and mentally as well. You’ll avoid dizziness and won’t risk passing out. You can also bring snacks to your appointment, especially if you have low blood sugar. Eating a fruit, a granola bar, nuts or cookies can really help with long sessions.
6. Dress Comfortably for Your Session
Wear comfortable clothing. Avoid tight jeans or dress shirts while getting tattooed. Loose clothing will help you feel more comfortable. Occasionally, ink can splatter, so don’t wear your favorite clothes! Finally, wear something that allows your artist to easily access the area being tattooed.

- Hello everyone! My name is Jade Blunt, and I'm a passionate tattoo enthusiast. Let me share a bit about my life and my journey in the world of ink and skin.
Ever since I was a child, I've been drawn to art and creativity in all its forms. However, it was when I turned 18 that I discovered my true passion: tattoos. I remember my first tattoo, a small design on my wrist that marked the beginning of an adventure that would change my life forever.
As my love for tattoos grew, so did my desire to learn more about this fascinating art. I started researching, talking to talented tattoo artists, and immersing myself in the history and culture of tattoos. Every tattoo tells a story, and I wanted to be a part of that narrative.
Over time, I decided to share my passion with the world through my blog, "Tattoo Gun Machine." In this space, I strive to provide valuable information about tattoos, from tips for tattooed skin care to stories of innovative tattoo artists and inspiring designs. My goal is to educate and inspire those who share my love for tattoos, as well as to demystify some of the stigmas surrounding this art form.
My blog has become a corner of the web where the tattoo-loving community can connect, share ideas, and explore new trends. I've also had the privilege of interviewing some of the most talented tattoo artists in the world, who share their unique experiences and knowledge within my pages.
But my journey in the world of tattoos doesn't stop here. I'm always on the lookout for new inspiration and challenges. I dream of one day opening my own tattoo studio, where I can bring my own designs to life and continue contributing to this form of artistic expression.
So, if you share my passion for tattoos or are simply interested in learning more about this exciting world, I invite you to join me on my journey at "Tattoo Gun Machine." Together, we can explore the art, culture, and beauty of tattoos as we continue to ink our stories onto the canvas of life. I'll see you on my blog!
