Before You Tattoo: Must-Know Tips

getting a tattoo where to get it

Step 3: Decide where to get it

Nowadays, you can pretty much get a tattoo on any part of your body — whether it’s visible or hidden. We even wrote a whole story on tattoo placement and what it can say about your personality. Here’s a mini breakdown for you:

The back: sexy

The neck: edgy

The forearm: egotistical

The calves: powerful

The chest: bold

The ribs: romantic

The wrist: conservative

The foot: non-committal

Just remember that there are a few spots that are referred to as “job killers.” Areas like the hands and neck can “definitely have an employer think twice about hiring you,” says Oafenhammer. So save those tattoos for later in life or skip them altogether.
