Some delicate styles suit the lower-back placement where curved lines read well. Best placements for women's tattoos Popular placement options include forearm (visible, easy to care for), ribs (more private, elongated canvas), collarbone (elegant, subtle), ankle (delicate, easy to hide), upper arm (versatile), and thigh (larger space, usually covered).

Using lines of varying thickness to define shape and depth, linework tattoos achieve expression through economy. The absence of shading keeps the focus on the quality and flow of each stroke.

Forearm tattoos benefit from a natural canvas that follows the arm's long shape. Designs can wrap around the arm or sit on the inner or outer surface, giving flexibility in how the tattoo is displayed.
