If you're someone who has tattoos or is ready to get one, you're probably familiar with the struggle of knowing what you want inked on your body but not knowing where to put it. There are quite a few factors to consider, but the real decision maker? Figuring out how often you want it to be shown. If you're someone who wants to have the option of hiding your tattoo — sans makeup — when you need to but also letting it shine when the time is right, a thigh tattoo may be a good option for you.

Most of us are blessed with plenty of space on our thighs (thick thighs save lives, right?) so we can go as large as we want with our thigh pieces. You don't have to worry about the tattoo looking too bold or large because this area is essentially made for tattoos.

Another great perk of having a thigh tattoo is the fact that it gives you the perfect opportunity to cover up dimples and marks on the skin. Cellulite is the reality for such a large percentage of women, but for those who want to cover it up, ink is one way to do so.
