Tattoo placement poll. Fuddy Duddies are required answer too!

I can't do a clicky poll on my phone, sorry! If someone was holding a gun to your head and said you have to pick one of these places to get a tattoo, which one would you pick? Right shoulder blade, center back right under your bra line, or your left wrist? Why would you pick that place? No where is not an acceptable answer, he's holding a gun to your head people!

Re: Tattoo placement poll. Fuddy Duddies are required answer too!

  • Center of my back. I'm just not a tattoo person. At all. I like some on other people, it's just not at all my style for myself. The center of the back under the bra line would make it so that the only time it was likely to be seen would be naked, or in a bathing suit.

  • Center of back. Easily hidable since I'm a fuddy duddy tattoo hater.

    BIL has a tattoo on his forearm. He now has to wear LS shirts to work every day. I'm sure he's thinking that was a bad decision now.

  • Center of back since it can be hidden.  I have a tattoo (lower right side above butt) and I like that I can hide it when I need to.  I would never get a tattoo that could not be covered up.

  • Well certainly not a wrist tattoo as that basically eliminates ever having a professional job and I would never limit myself like that. I guess same as clseale just because it would be the least visible. Also I would get literally a drop of ink. And it would be brown so I could pass it off as a birthmark.

    Wow. Way to really think the decision all the way though. I like it! Yes

  • I would get it on my left wrist.... because it would always be covered up by my watch!
  • I agree with PPs. Definitely center of the back under the bra line. DH has one in the center of his back between his shoulder blades higher up. I like his a lot because it's only visible when he doesn't have a shirt on.

  • Wrist tattoos can be easy covered up with watches and bracelets. All of these places are hideable.

  • Considering I already have a tattoo on my left wrist I guess I would pick my back. I have no desire to have a tattoo on my shoulder.

    I agree that certain tattoos on the left wrist are easily hidden. I can wear a watch and cover mine just fine. I don't think it prevents me from having a professional job. My company allows visible tattoos that aren't distracting and if that changed I would just wear a watch.

  • Still seems very limiting to me. Are you okay with being forced to wear a bracelet or watch the rest of your professional life? I can think of plenty of outfits where a bulky watch or chunky bracelets would not go at all. The other two places seem much easier to hide.
  • I don't really see it as being limiting and if I had to cover it I would. My tattoo is pretty narrow so a simple metal or leather band would cover it. I wouldn't need anything large.

  • I'd pick left wrist, just because I like the way a small wrist tat looks. I'm just not a fan of the other two places.

  • Depends on what the tattoo was. I like the wrist idea in that I think I would like to see my tattoo.. but only if it was super tiny.. like, able to be covered by my ever-present hair ties. 

    Though I would not get one there if my education/aspirations were at all in line with a profession or career where I would HAVE to hide it.

  • Left wrist. I don't really care for back or shoulder tattoos.

  • Center of my back for sure.

    And unless your tatoo is REALLY small on the wrist, I'm sorry, but it isn't that easily covered up. My MOH had one, and even though it was very pretty and small and under her watch line, you could see it almost all the time anyway. Unless you're wearing a cuff, you can't guarantee it isn't seen. She got tired of people commenting on it and felt it did interfere with her professionalism, so she's having it lasered off. Not only is the initial wrist tattoo painful, I can't imagine 10 sessions with a laser on your wrist.

    Speaking of funny, unobtrusive tattoos, one of my exes got a drunk tattoo in college (I didn't know him at the time) and it's a line. Just a line. Across his bicep. About 2 inches long. He has no idea why he picked that. I made up a story for him that since he's a runner, it's a finish line, but he thinks it was probably more like an unfinished part of a larger tattoo. I can't imagine having something permanent on my body that I had no idea what I was thinking when I got it.

  • Wrist, it can easily be hidden and I dislike the other two options.
