Best Body Placements for a First Tattoo

Start with the idea and placement

Collect references for the mood, composition and style you want. Tell the artist which parts of each reference you like. References guide an original piece rather than a request to reproduce another artist’s design.

Review the portfolio

Compare linework, shading and healed examples where available. Choose an artist whose work matches the idea, then discuss size and placement. Fine details can require more space than an initial sketch suggests.

Prepare your enquiry

Send your references, approximate size, placement and preferred dates. If you are visiting Bogotá, share your travel window. Confirm the appointment, design process and aftercare instructions directly with the studio.
