If you are getting a tattoo for the first time, it is quite difficult to choose a spot. Your entire body is a blank canvas! You can literally put anything anywhere. So choice stress. Need inspiration? These are the best places for your first tattoo.
Your ankle
The ankle is a common place for a first tattoo. It’s an area that’s easy to hide (if necessary) and generally doesn’t hurt very much. The ankle is the ideal place for a small tattoo, making it perfect for your first. For example, go for a small symbol such as a moon or the symbol of your zodiac sign. There are several places on your ankles where you can put the tattoo. For example, you can put the tattoo on the side of your ankle, on the inside or outside, or on the back of your ankle.
Your upper arm
Your arms are a blank canvas for tattoos! Your upper arm is a perfect place for your first picture. You have a lot of space here and it hurts much less than other places on your body. The less bone there is, the better actually. Are you going for the front or the back of your upper arm? Or both?

Your wrist
In addition to the ankles, the wrists are also a very popular place for a first tattoo. In terms of pain level, this is slightly higher than your ankles. Here you will have to deal with slightly thinner skin. Luckily, the wrist is a perfect spot for a small picture, so you’ll be done pretty quickly. The wrist is a perfect place for a small, intimate tattoo.
Your ribs
Do you want a tattoo that is really just for you? Then your ribs are a perfect place to have this done. It is a place that is not very often visible to the outside world, which is a huge plus for some people. If you would like a tattoo, but do not want it visible, for example. For many people, your ribs are a more painful place to get tattooed. So keep this in mind if you are going to have one installed. The advantage is: once you have had this, no other tattoo is scary anymore.
Above your knee
Your upper arms are a great place for tattoos, the same goes for your thighs. Here you have a lot of space to have a beautiful design. And because your thighs generally have more fat than the rest of your leg, this is a fairly pleasant place to get tattooed. If you are afraid of pain, this is definitely a good place to choose. And this tattoo is a nice surprise to show off as soon as you can take your shorts out of the closet again!
