What to expect from placement.

Placement changes the tattoo experience. Consider sensitivity, visibility and how the piece will sit on the body before you decide.

Sensitivity is not the same for everyone.

Some areas tend to feel more sensitive than others, but each person’s experience is different. The size, detail and duration of the piece matter too.

Think through the location.

Ask yourself how visible the tattoo should be, how it will sit with movement and whether the shape of the idea fits the area you are considering.

Bring the question early.

A tattoo artist can help you talk through placement before a session. Bring the idea, the reference and the area you have in mind so the conversation starts with something concrete.

Take care of yourself.

Follow the professional aftercare guidance you receive and ask the shop if you have a question about your specific piece.
