Not Quite the Side
Can't name the spot on your body where you're contemplating getting a tattoo? That's a good sign if you're searching for a unique way to sport something special. Technically still on the back, but pretty close to being your side, is an underutilized area of the body for a few thoughtful words.

Center Justified
While off-centered options certainly have their appeal, there is definitely something beautiful about a carefully positioned statement piece. Find the exact center of your back, between your shoulder blades, and show off a stunning vertical addition.

Thumbs Up
Finger tattoos may not be for everyone, especially if you want to keep them hidden from your parents or employers. If you're lusting over an exposed option, though, keep it simple and right under the thumb knuckle for an understated look that brings ultimate cool-girl vibes.

Inner Finger
If the exposed side of the finger isn't your thing, consider using the opposite side for a more private approach. Adding an oh-so-tiny tattoo at the base of your finger will be a barely-there piece that, quite possibly, only you will know about.

Show Legs Some Love
Symmetry often comes into play when deciding on tattoo placement, but that's not a rule that necessarily needs to be followed. Forget about perfectly centered options and try out something a bit more relaxed, like this random area right on the calf.
