Whether you are getting a tattoo on your thigh and upper leg where it’s more concealed or on your calf and lower leg where you can show it off more easily, the design should be something that has a personal meaning to you.
Because you have plenty of canvas space for your art, consider a large and bold design on your leg. You are not constrained by lack of space as you are in other areas of your body. It is here where you can really get creative and make a bold visual statement.
Explore your inner creativity and brain storm about symbols that are meaningful and design styles you are attracted to when planning a tat of this size.
Consider a large snake as a possible idea. It is a popular motif for this area because the design can be wrapped around your entire leg, just as a real snake might.
Dragons have the same type of appeal. This design can include a creature with a long tail that can curl and wrap around your leg.
Tribal bands and abstract art designs can also make great leg tattoos. Geometric shapes and repeating patterns are bold and can be expanded upon quite easily if you decide to add to your design or reference the design in another part of your body.
Maybe a full leg tattoo is too big of a commitment for you. It this is the case, you can go with a smaller and more dainty design. Smaller designs can be anything that appeals to you and placement is entirely a personal preference.
Some possible design ideas include a drawn garter on your thigh, a scene from your favorite book or a quote that goes up the length of your leg from hip to ankle. The skies…I mean, skin is the limit with a leg tattoo for women.
