All about shin tattoos
There are many areas on the human body where you can get a variety of tattoos. The shins are a suitable area. They can be applied to a variety of images, sustained in various themes.
Advantages and disadvantages
First, let's look at the main advantages of tattoos applied to the legs.
- With the help of a properly selected attractive pattern, a lady's leg can look more graceful and sophisticated, which will give the image a unique style.
- A tattoo on the lower leg can be done in almost any color and style. The image can be almost anything.
- With the help of an attractive sketch, masterfully stuffed on the shins, you can attract a lot of attention to yourself, stand out sharply from the gray crowd. This is a great solution for people who like to attract the eyes of others.
A well-made image will become a bright decoration of the human body, but you need to remember that it is not recommended to completely clog the entire ankle.
It is desirable that there is a "clean" space around the picture, which will not be tattooed when viewed from the side. Thanks to this, body art will turn out to be much more accurate and aesthetic.
Besides, girls who decide on such experiments should take into account that the bottom of the leg is an open part of the body, therefore, if necessary, it will not always work to hide the drawing. This is especially true in warm seasons, when hot weather keeps outside the window. This is another reason to think carefully before starting to apply a tattoo in the area in question.
The sketch, stuffed on the shins of beautiful ladies, will close their access to various interviews. To avoid unnecessary troubles, you will have to wear long skirts to the floor or closed trousers, which will cause a lot of inconvenience in the summer. Of course, you can wear nylon tights, but through them the image will still be visible, only it will look completely unattractive.
There are certain nuances not only for beautiful ladies, but also for men. If there is "rich" male vegetation on the legs, then even the most beautiful and masculine tattoo will not look so attractive and brutal. For applying various sketches, only those shins will be suitable on which too much thick and dark hair does not grow. Of course, you can opt for regular depilation, but this will not be the most convenient solution for men.
We must also take into account the fact that people who are panicky afraid of severe pain when applying a tattoo should abandon the tattoo on their shins. This area is quite painful and tender, especially when approaching the foot.
