Whether big or small, discreet or in your face, thigh tattoos for women are a popular tattoo placement choice. Let’s check out some innovative and fun thigh tattoos to give you some inspiration for your next ink!
Pros and Cons of Thigh Tattoos for Women
Picking the placement of your tattoo is an important decision, and it depends on your lifestyle, personality, and the art you’re wanting. Thigh tattoos are a great option because you can go big or little. They are reasonably easy to hide from your work (if you are someone who wears pants). And even large thigh tattoos are easy to hide from your parents if your family has trouble with heavily inked people. Bonus: hidden tattoos tend to have more staying power than tattoos on parts of your body that are always in the sun.
Further, thigh tattoos look good on people of any gender and any size. Plus, the thigh (especially the upper, outer thigh) is one of the least painful places on your body to get tattooed. Remember, though, if you get a piece you adore and want to show it off, you’ll have to be comfortable sharing that portion of your thigh with the world.
