Leg tattoo

The leg tattoo is becoming one of the most frequently chosen places to decorate the body. The large surface area of the legs gives artists enormous scope for creativity, allowing them to realise small, delicate designs as well as large, intricate designs. Tattoos here are a popular choice for those who love to show off their embellishments, especially in the summer months – short shorts, skirts or swimwear will make it easy for you to reveal and show off your tattoos to the world. However, if you’re the kind of person who prefers to keep your leg tattoo to yourself, no problem – you can easily hide a small ankle tattoo under your sock, and motifs tattooed on your calves or thighs under your leg.

The most popular leg tattoo motifs

Floral patterns such as roses, lilies or orchids are enduringly popular with both men and women. Japanese motifs, such as sakura (cherry blossom), are also popular choices. Tattoos depicting animals, such as wolves, lions, elephants or birds, carry deep symbolism, reflecting qualities such as strength, wisdom or freedom. Geometric designs, ideal for those who appreciate precision and modern style, and motivational quotes, names of loved ones or important dates are also common choices. The inspiration of Maori, Aztec or Celtic cultures, with their unique designs, is gaining a growing fan base.

Where to get a tattoo on your leg?

A leg tattoo can be placed in a variety of locations: thigh, calf, ankle or foot, giving great flexibility in the choice of design and placement. The thigh is an ideal surface for large, intricate designs, the calf is great for medium-sized tattoos, and the ankle and foot are popular for small, subtle designs.
