The decision to get a tattoo can be one of the most exciting and nerve-wracking decisions. It is exciting because you can express yourself through a permanent form of art on your body, and at the same time nerve-wracking because you have to carefully choose the right design and placement that will remain forever on your skin.
If you are looking for a more inconspicuous place for your tattoo, you might consider getting one on your hip. Usually the tattoo is hidden by clothing, here it is easy to hide or show it off by wearing a swimsuit or low cut jeans! A tattoo on the thigh also has a tantalizing vibe because it is such an intimate place.
But there are a few things to keep in mind before a tattoo session: because this area is directly above the hip bone and is covered with minimal fat and muscle, expect a little more pain than usual. Another concern is the healing time. Because tattoos on the thighs are hidden by clothing, the ink will tend to rub, causing friction that will make them disappear faster. That’s why it’s important to wear loose clothing for the first few weeks after getting a tattoo.
