Best tattoo position

So, for a few years I have wanted a tattoo, and finally I have decided what I want (I just wanted to be sure, hence why it has taken a few years).

Tattoo design in spoiler.

Now all is left is which part of my body to get it on. I don't want it on my back because I want to be able to see it and not have to use a mirror to. :tongue: I was thinking my lower arm? Idk though. Suggestions would be nice!

PS It's the Celtic symbol for strength. There is a reason why I chose that.

That's amazing! If you hadn't had mentioned not needing a mirror I would've said behind the ear but on the wrist or the inside of your bicep

On the left or right of the lower abdomen. Like the porn-stars do.

That is a serious suggestion by the way; I think the tattoo would suit that location.

Aw thanks :h: yeah I was thinking arms would be nice cause I could see it but I could also easily cover it up if needed.

Sorry, couldn't help myself. But yeah, thinking about it, it does.

I think the inner bicep one would be best as that would be less awkward to cover up :h:
I think on the right side of your chest, like just above your boob.
I think that position looks nice but obviously it's not for everyone. ☺️👀

I would worry that would be a bit sore. I have like no muscle there at all, it's just skin and bones :eek:

Would need a mirror to see it and ugh, the hassle, I would be too lazy. I can see the appeal though for people!

How about your wrists? there is no best position for wearing a tattoo so visible for other people, plus you can see it for yourself without using a mirror. I can imagine it would be good placed in your neck too, but you need a mirror to see this tattoo.

Another good position is the upper arm. Would say, it is even a better position than your wrists, but it is lesser visible.

How big are you planning on making it?

If it's small, which will look a lot nicer with the thin lines imo, I'd say on your wrist or lower arm as you said or in between your thumb and index finger if its really small.

Good luck regardless though, very pretty tattoo!

I was considering wrists/lower arm area. I want to be able to see it with ease every day because it holds a personal meaning to me and I would like to be reminded of it (as pathetically soppy as that sounds :laugh:).
