The leg offers a large area for detail or a subtle placement for smaller pieces. Thigh, calf, or shin Thigh placements allow larger designs and softer curves, while calves suit vertical compositions.

Achieving lifelike results in skin requires mastery of light, shadow, and color blending. Realistic tattoos often look three-dimensional, with subjects appearing to emerge from the skin surface.

The chest is a bold placement choice that stays mostly concealed under clothing. Its proximity to the heart makes it a popular spot for meaningful symbols, text, and portrait work.
