Places of application
It should be borne in mind that not all small tattoos look equally attractive on all parts of a girl's body.

Consider which places are suitable for applying mini-tattoos.
- Head... The head or face for applying a small tattoo is most often chosen only by extraordinary women of fashion who are not afraid of bold experiments.
- Neck... For modern women of fashion, a very popular place for tattooing is the neck. For example, the image can be pinned on the side of this area or on the back of the neck. In the latter case, the tattoo can be easily hidden behind a shock of loose hair, if necessary.
- Clavicle... Another place that girls very often choose for applying the selected small pattern. Most often, light feathers, twigs, flowers, leaves, and so on are stuffed in these areas.
Here, the mini tattoo will only be slightly visible from under the shirt or blouse.
- Breast area. Often, girls decide to fill a small tattoo on the body, for example, in the chest area. Ladies rarely decide to apply any images directly to the chest, but the area under the breast is quite popular. Most often, it is here that girls apply drawings of various flowers, arrows, intricate patterns, hearts.
- Sides and ribs. The abdomen is poorly suited for tattooing, but the ribs and sides will be more suitable areas on the girl's body. Very often, not only purely feminine themes are stuffed here, but also unisex drawings. We are talking about airplanes, ships, mountain ranges, planets, and so on.
- Back... On the back, women's tattoos, which are of modest size, are lost in the same way as on the stomach. The only exceptions are the shoulder blades and lower back. For these areas, you can choose a suitable pattern. Girls in most cases fill butterflies, birds, various patterns here.
- Hands... Basically, girls apply small tattoos on their hands. It should be borne in mind that on the shoulder, such images look the least attractive and expressive, although no one forbids stuffing a mini-tattoo here, if there is such a desire. The main thing is to carefully and deliberately choose the perfect drawing.
- Wrist... An area where a girl can pin almost any miniature image. The main thing is that she herself should like it in everything!
- Fingers, brushes. Small tattoos, depicting a variety of beautiful symbols, letters, numbers, icons, look best on these unusual areas. These are the perfect foundations for a mini tattoo.
On the fingers and hands, it is recommended to fill the drawings, sustained in strict black colors.
- Legs... On the thighs, mini-tattoos are done in very rare cases. If this zone is selected, then the size of the image is made slightly smaller than usual due to the impressive area. Calves and drumsticks are also not the best places for small sketches.
- Intimate parts... Most often, in such invisible places for everyone, women fill small tattoos that have a sexy or funny meaning. For example, it can be juicy cherries, a sketch of a small fire.
