PRACTICAL GUIDE

Ideas, style and placement

Which men’s tattoo designs should you choose?

The right choice has 4 simple steps:

  1. Style: realism, old school, Japanese/Asian, blackwork, geometric, lettering, etc.
  2. Placement: arm/forearm, chest, back, leg, neck (more exposed), etc.
  3. Size: if you want details, sometimes you need “space” (we don’t force complexity into a very small piece).
  4. Black & grey vs colour: black & grey can look very premium; colour adds impact (especially for old school, neo-traditional, colour realism).

Among the styles most often requested by men, we mention: Japanese/Asian (masks, dragons, waves, clouds),
realism (portraits, animals), old school, blackwork, geometric, lettering,
as well as 3D/illusion projects or “fantasy” compositions. The key is choosing a style that fits your placement and the size you want.

Popular placements for men’s tattoos (and what looks best)

1) Arm tattoos / sleeve

The arm is one of the most popular choices for men because it’s visible and allows larger projects: from the forearm up to a full sleeve.
A good sleeve has a theme and a composition that “flows” on the arm (it doesn’t look like random pictures stuck together).
See also: arm tattoos and forearm tattoos.

2) Chest tattoos

The chest is ideal for strong compositions: large symbols, religious themes, animals, masks, symmetrical elements, or compositions that connect with the shoulder.
Advantage: you have space and control over visibility (it’s easy to cover).

3) Back tattoos

The back is the perfect “canvas” for large projects: dragons, Japanese compositions, realism, scenes, thematic collages.
See inspiration: back tattoos.

4) Leg tattoos (calf / thigh)

On the leg you can do large pieces that are still relatively discreet. For men, the calf is very popular for vertical designs and animals,
and the thigh for realism and large compositions. See: leg tattoos.

5) Neck tattoos (exposed area)

The neck is very visible and it’s not for everyone as a first tattoo. If you want something on the neck, we recommend a very clean design and a well-considered decision.
See: neck tattoos.

PRACTICAL GUIDE

Details worth considering

Black & grey or colour?

For many men, black & grey looks very premium: contrast, elegance, classic vibe.
Colour is excellent for old school, neo-traditional and “wow” projects. You also have the “best of both”: black & grey + accent colour.
Full details here: colour tattoos.
