Best areas of the body to place a small quote tattoo
1) Ribcage
The ribcage is one of the most popular pages to place a quote tattoo can be the most painful place so beware if you are scared of the pain. If you can ensure a little discomfort then a quote tattoo always looks stunning on the ribcage and you will be wanting to show this off in the summer months.
2) Thigh
The thigh is a brilliant place to place a quote tattoo as you can make the quote as long as you wish due to having a larger surface area to work with. Many people wrap the quote around the thigh, down the thigh or you can write a small little paragraph. The thigh is ideal for longer verses and has room to place pictures or symbols here too.
3) Forearm
When working with your forearm, you have a lot of options of where you can put text. A quote tattoo works great on the forearms as it is the perfect shape and can be placed down the long side or even wrapped around the arm. The quote is very visible on a daily basis so this may be something to consider. If you are dying to show off your new tattoo the forearms are a great place to have your quote tattoo but if you need to hide any tattoos for work then you may want to avoid placing anything on your arms as these will be on show in the summer months.
4) The Foot
One of the most popular places to choose to have a quote tattoo is the foot. This may seem a bit of a unique place but many choose the foot to place any small delicate tattoos. If you are wanting to choose a quote tattoo that is a cursive script or a very small one to four word quote, the arch of the food is a perfect place. Any tattoo placed on the foot can be visible during the summer months but if you need to hide any ink for professional reasons, the foot is a safe bet.
