Tattoos are not only a beauty accessory, but also a reflection of personality. What does choosing a tattoo site say about you?
Each tattoo carries its own story, but the key to understanding it is not always in the drawing, but in the location where it is imprinted on the skin.
The location of the tattoo on the body is like map, which reveals the invisible paths of an individual's life, his values, character and often also hidden fears and desires.
Have you ever wondered why someone chose that exact spot for their tattoo? Or, what does a person want to communicate to the world with a tattoo on a certain part of their body?
Tattoos have long gone beyond simple decoration. They have become a form of art and expression that goes beyond a mere aesthetic component. Each piece of skin you choose for a tattoo becomes a unique manifesto of personality and character
Let's look at the meaning of a few places where tattoos can be found.
Rib area
This is a very unusual place to get a tattoo, but it is becoming more and more popular. It is a sensitive part of the body that reveals that the person who has a tattoo there is strong, brave and full of life. In addition, it shows that the person feels comfortable in his body and is confident. Larger and more complex tattoos tend to appear here, suggesting depth of personality and thought.

These are very unique people, because these tattoos, as in the case of tattooing any permanently exposed part of the body, are impossible to hide, and they can affect professional life. Still, it doesn't matter to those who wear them in such places, which reveals their strength and confidence. Finger tattoos reveal a core personality that shows a lot with their little one.

Hands are the most common place people get tattoos, and they carry many meanings. A small tattoo on the upper arms or on the shoulders reveals a somewhat cautious individual with a wild side. Drawings on the middle part of the hand are often worn by people who want to show their artistic side in some way, but not completely, because they still have a career and want to give the impression of 'normal'. Tattoos that extend over the entire shoulder show that a person is indifferent to what others will think and that he does not need to hide anything. He wants to live his own way, but he doesn't think too much about the consequences of his decisions and actions. These are people with extremely strong self-confidence.

When a shoulder or upper arm tattoo is done, it is much easier to hide than a forearm tattoo, revealing people who are not afraid to show how strong they are and are proud of what they have tattooed. The forearms become a "canvas" for people who want to show off their tattoos and enjoy them. They love it when people look at a picture and think about what it means and what it reveals about them. The motif will always be something that will indicate something about them and the deeper meaning of their life.

Tattoos on or around the wrist usually have a deeper meaning than others and are often placed by people who have gone through a difficult period, perhaps recovering from a period of depression, drug use and other deep negative issues. These are very sensitive people. Getting a tattoo on the wrist is very painful, and sometimes a tattoo in this place is an attempt to hide scars, perhaps due to self-harm. Although such scars cannot be completely hidden with a tattoo, the very attempt reveals a message such as: 'This is not me anymore, this is my past.
Feet and ankles
Although this type of people also likes the tattoo to be visible, they are still a bit more shy and discreet. Individuals who get ankle or foot tattoos are often mysterious, and since it is a small part of the body, the tattoos are usually simple and may have a deeper meaning than large and elaborate ones. These tattoo sites are popular among introverts or people who want to emphasize that they have loved and lost someone with a tattoo.

You can get really big and luxurious tattoos on the thighs, because there is more space there than on other parts of the body. On the other hand, the thighs are exposed and hidden from time to time, so there is room for manipulation when creating an impression. Thigh tattoos are considered very sexy, especially if they go high up towards the crotch. Such tattoos are usually seen only by a chosen one, someone like a new lover, so it also gives a dose of deeper meaning - revealing yourself to someone else.

You can see some of the best tattoos on this part of the body, which often extend to other parts of the body, such as the neck, arms, ribs, back... Such people are full of themselves, confident, and the bigger the tattoo, the more self-confidence they have. This is especially evident in men who want to make an impressive impression on women.

The back
Tattoos on the back are often a symbol of the very foundations of life, and the people who get them mostly exude some mystery, are bold and don't really care what others think about them and their tattoos. Although it's thought that back tattoos are less important to the wearer because they can't look at them all the time, that's not the case - people don't have to look at something all the time to appreciate it.

The neck
People who wear neck tattoos are considered the bravest of all, very wise and strong. Those on the lower or back of the neck reveal individuals who are not afraid to make important decisions and make difficult decisions if they feel it is right. The neck it's an extremely painful area to get a tattoo, and you really have to be brave to go through all that pain for a small image that will stay there for the rest of your life.
