Choice of place
The key to the tattoo inscription is the choice of location on the body. Agree that religious tattoos are not suitable for a place on the legs. And the name of a loved one inscribed on a girl's waist would look rather vulgar. For this better suit the place on the chest, under the heart.
For example, for the wrist are perfectly suitable small tattoos. These can be inscriptions in the form of a single word with meaning. These tattoos are more of an option for girls. It is also a good place for paired tattoos.
On the shoulder and forearm cool look small quotes and aphorisms. They can be complemented with small drawings or symbols. Or make a beautiful background for the inscription. Men's compositions on the arm look more aggressive and carry a different message than women's.
On the chest and abdomen, many people inscribe the year of birth. Girls also do tattoos under their breasts, wrapping the text around curves and shapes. On the sides and ribs you can often find tattoos on the theme of religion: prayers, postulates, precepts. One of the most frequent is: save and preserve. Women's mini tattoos with one or two words gracefully adorn the collarbone.
The back is considered a good area for large tattoos. There you can place such an inscription, which does not fit on other parts of the body.
The neck, ribs and arms are good for name tattoos. On the leg look funny phrases: light jokes, sarcasm, irony. It can even be a meme that includes words. It's rare to see writing on the thigh at all.
On the hands and fingers draw or rapper tattoos on the knuckles (usually his pseudonyms), or a simple minimalist phrases: life, love, family.
It has become fashionable for young people to get tattoos on their faces and heads. The idea is the same as at a tattoo on a wrist - a minimum of symbols, a maximum of sense.

Tattoo inscriptions: how to choose a language?
For several years, the leader among foreign languages are inscriptions in Latin. Despite the fact that this language is not used in everyday speech and is considered dead, many still choose it. Perhaps because it helps to hide the meaning of the tattoo from outsiders.
"Love conquers all."
"Remember Life."
But in any case, you should choose only the option that represents you, motivates you, reminds you of significant events or life goals. Some choose phrases about love, self-development, or the transience of life. You need to be sure that several years from now, that the phrase will still be relevant.
"Flies on its own wings."
"Flies on its own wings."
The next most popular language for tattoos in the form of inscriptions is English. It is the one that most people learn, so be sure to hide the meaning will not work. The only way is to choose a place that is almost always under your clothes.
"After all these years?", "Always."
"Everything that is not done is for the best."
"God has wounded our hearts to prove to us. He takes the best."
"Happiness is real when shared."
"Forget the risk and accept the consequences. If that's what you want, it's worth it!"
"Follow your heart."
In terms of meaning, in this language, most often girls choose phrases that are associated with love, passion, motherhood. It is also not uncommon to see a tattoo that represents a person's life values. For example, family, love or the name of a loved one. Very often they are accompanied by appropriate drawings of minimal size.
"Victory in my veins."
"Matching the soul to the flaming heart."
"I love you endlessly."
"This too shall pass."
Ornament
Ornaments are chosen by lovers of mystery and mysticism. The whimsical repetition of the same motifs make up a unique pattern, in which the author hides some sacred meaning known only to him. Many such tattoos inspire creativity, to some bring peace.
There are people who are calmed by looking at a repeating pattern. That is why it is placed on the brushes - it is easier to look at it that way. Often ornaments hide a religious background behind them. Next to them, an image of Buddha or another deity is placed.
Laconic tattoos
Minimalism is in fashion, so domes and portraits on the whole back have not been relevant for a long time. The body, resembling a hohloma looks strange, to say the least. If you urgently need a tattoo, choose something concise and modest, so that, if necessary, it could easily be hidden. Many companies are demanding to the appearance of their employees. Who knows, maybe in the future you become a top manager of a major bank, the dress code does not allow tattoos on exposed body parts. Laconic tattoo on the arm is easy to hide under a shirt, and something bright and something heavy even a thick foundation to plaster difficult.
Do not put the names of lovers on the body, no one knows how life will turn out in the future. So there will be a divorce stamp in your passport, and the inscription on your hand: "Vasya/Petya/Nastya/Tanyusha - eternal love. It can be removed, but: it is painful and very expensive, and what to do with the scars that will remain in place of the tattoo? Overlap it is also possible, but a complex drawing is overlapped only by blackwork, to put it mildly, such tattoos are only for lovers.
A small laconic inscription on the wrist is much more appropriate and neat than a Konstantin Korovin landscape to the shoulder.
Fashion is fickle and it's important to understand that your tastes and preferences will change over time.
