Leg Tattoo Designs Ideas for Men and Women
Now, we all know wrist or arm tattoos are pretty common but in the recent years, leg tattoos have become a fad as well. Leg tattoos are pretty cool and are preferred by some people over arm tattoos. We'll get to the why, later.
Before we jump into it, there are some general things you'd always need to remember before getting a tattoo.
- Pain - So here's a four letter word that you might not love as much as 'love'. It's obvious but I'll state the obvious and say that it'll pain and there will be some blood. That's why choosing the area is important as the more sensitive it is, the more it'll pain and the closer it's to the bones like your ribs, it'll pain a lot more. No pain, no gain? No pain, no pretty designs either buddy.
- Permanency - Unlike your exes who might have promised a forever to you, tattoos tend to stick around forever. Brownie points for loyalty right? But this is why you should give it all the thoughts that are needed because this is permanent.
- hygiene - You might be a perfectionist and still not get this right. You need to make sure that you'll take care of your skin after getting a tattoo because infections can get caused easily.
Now, let's get to the main topic here - leg tattoos.
If you're planning to get a leg tattoo, you're obviously going to consider which part to get it on unless you're getting your whole leg tattooed. So here is what you can consider.
- Ankle/ feet - Some people like ankle tattoos a lot. Adds a pretty effect for women especially when they wear stilettos or even flats!
- Calves - Side of the calves might be one of the most common area on the leg that people get tattoos. Let's face it, in shorts or dresses, your calves would look pretty great.
- Thighs - Upper thighs, inner thighs, entire thighs, thigh to the hip and so on. Thigh tattoos are also common and are great for people who don't like flaunting their tattoos too often or at all.
Now that we've covered where you could get your leg tattoo, let's also let you know the area which would pain the most and which would pain the least.
The most painful out of the three would be the ankles/feet because it's closest to your bones and nerves. Get it done if and only if you have the pain tolerance for it and if possibly you already have a tattoo at a sensitive area so that you know how much the pain might be.
Next in the pain category would be inner thighs. It seems odd because if you're anything like me, your thighs might have a whole lot of fat and might be away from your bone but they're also mostly away from exposure and hence are quite sensitive areas. Your inner thigh would also rub against the other thigh or your bottom wear almost all the time so that would also cause more skin irritation so you might want to just go with the outer side thigh or upper thigh.
Lastly, the calves are the least painful area of your leg, especially on the side because it is away from the bone and the nerves and would likely cause lesser pain and discomfort to you. And they're also visible so why not just go for this area? I would!
Leg tattoos are getting popular by the day and mostly because of the fact that people have a bit more liking for shorts and hence, a bit more liking towards flaunting their calves which gets amazingly achieved with mesmerizing tattoos.
So keeping the popularity in mind, here are 15 popular leg tattoos that you can get for yourself if you've not yet thought about which ones to get!

Anchor Tattoo - Anchors represent just what they are used for, being grounded. It symbolizes stability in life and security.
Lion Tattoo - Lions are one of the most attractive animals for tattoo designs because of the power that the animal represents. Having one on your calf would surely make you look like the King of the jungle.
Skull Tattoo - Skulls were cool since as long as I can remember and not just because of Pirates of the Caribbeans . Symbol of, obviously, death but many times chosen because of the cool quotient around them.
Rose Tattoo - Roses have been a symbol of love for a long time but they're more than just that. They can also represent overcoming loss of love with the thorns on them.
Celebrity Tattoo - We all have some celebrity who we admire more than the usual amount. So if you want to get a tattoo of theirs, your calf would be a nice area because of the broader space there as compared to that of your arm. Like below, Al Pacino looks quite intense as in his roles.
Minimal Tiny Tattoo - If you're keen on getting tattoos on your feet then you can always go for something like this which would be minimal and not seem too loud on your feet. Flies, birds, butterflies, musical notes. There can be many things.
Dog Tattoo - Pets can be more important than our family to us and dogs are probably the most loved animals of all. Getting a tattoo of your dogs would be a great way to always remember them and keep them with you.
Band Tattoo - Band tattoos have become quite popular and are probably extremely made these days. The black bands don't necessarily symbolize anything and are just made because they look cool but for some people, it's a symbol of mourning the loss of a loved one.
Now that you've gotten some tattoo ideas, plan it out and get yours done!
