Tattoos on the legs of girls look elegant and aesthetic. Successfully selected drawing, repeating the smooth line of the thigh or ringing a thin ankle, is able to give mystery to the image and attract the attention of others.
Girls with a sporty figure have adopted this technique and willingly decorate the legs of various drawings. Tattoos here can be as small as very small to hide them under clothes, and exaggeratedly large – to cover the thigh and calves completely. Preferences of girls are different!

Tattoo locations
Girls who decided to make a tattoo on the leg, should remember that not all areas of this part of the body have the same pain threshold. Also, not always the drawing will have the same safety. In some areas, reapplication will be required.
Tattoo on the thigh
If you choose the most successful place for a leg tattoo, it will be the thigh. There is a lot of muscle tissue here, so discomfort is not felt as much during the application. In addition, a tattoo on the upper thigh looks sexy and very graceful. Especially in girls who actively train this area.

Tattoo on the calves
Athletes often choose this location for drawing because of its versatility. Large area allows you to make large-scale drawings, the skin here does not form folds, and roundness gives the opportunity to apply interesting volumetric sketches in 3D format. Also tattoos on the calves, if necessary, can always be hidden by long pants.

Tattoos on the ankles
There is an opinion that drawings on this zone are made mainly by women. The thin graceful part of the leg is highlighted by miniature drawings, inscriptions or geometric ornaments. Often you can notice a tattoo in the form of a bracelet on the ankles. Thus, the drawing becomes a decoration, and sometimes a kind of amulet. In some cases, people choose a bracelet tattoo on the ankles to show endless respect, value and devotion to relatives.

Tattoo on the foot
Drawing in this zone looks very spectacular. Especially if girls wear high-heeled shoes. But the tattoo on the foot has one important significant disadvantage – rapid washout of pigment. The skin here is often in contact with shoes, and as a result of the friction process, the color loses brightness. Therefore, the owners of tattoos on the foot have to periodically update the drawing. In addition, the procedure of nabbing is very painful.

According to the artists of tattoo parlors, there is no definite pattern, which area most often prefer to decorate girls. Drawings are made on almost all parts of the leg. The choice of the fair sex make, most likely, depending on the character, mood or on the principle – like it or not.

“Girls, like men, choose sketches often spontaneously, without putting deep meanings in the images. According to the location on the body parts, there are no principles for determining the theme of the drawing. I as a master can only give recommendations on the choice to like a particular sketch organically fit into this or that part of the body in form and dynamics. But I will note that tattoos on hips, calves, ankles really make legs more slender”.
What designs do girls choose?
Popular among girls are drawings in the form of animals and birds, patterns, geometric ornament, flowers and inscriptions. However, along with cute images, the choice often falls on mystical drawings in the form of skulls, skeletons.

Egor Zverev: If 15 years ago it was possible to find a difference between the preferences of clients by gender, now men and women choose the subject of sketches based only on their personal interests. There are no stereotypes. At one point in my career, I decided to count who I did more skulls on, it turned out that there was an equal amount of skulls on guys and girls. Although pink bears and scarlet roses are still preferred exclusively by the fair sex.
If you go deeper into the theme of the drawing, it can be noted that athletic fit girls often turn to animal motifs. Often on the legs depict silhouettes of a lion, a tiger. And there is logic in this. Ferocious strong animals symbolize for the owners of tattoos assertiveness and the desire to win.

Another popular drawing is the sketch of an owl on the leg. Open wings symbolize freedom and independence, and the bird itself in many ancient mythologies is the embodiment of intelligence, wisdom and prudence.
Legs – a great place for tattoos. If necessary, you can always hide drawings from prying eyes. And they can also visually add growth.
