Tattoo Rule No. 3: But Also Make Sure It Looks Good Naked When deciding on the placement of a tattoo, you have to consider the overall lines of the body, says Mayorga. "How is it going to look when you're naked or in intimate situations?" For example, an ankle bracelet tattoo chops off the leg, making it look shorter. But vertical designs "elongate the line of the leg."
Similarly, Mayorga warns against "slapping tattoos on like stickers," which she says can cut the body in unflattering places and "destroy the look of your curves."
"Personally, I hate it when girls get gigantic battle ships or American eagles on their chest above the breasts," Mayorga confesses. "It ruins the whole décolletage." With any tattoo, chest pieces included, you want to work with curved lines to complement the lines of the body.
