Tattoos Based on Personality Type (not just style)

Simple and Calm Personality 

For people who have minimalistic preferences, it is best to choose minimalist designs such as fine line symbols, little initials, arrows, or word tattoos. They do not require much attention but are quite meaningful. Many novices in India prefer this technique for the reason that it is considered safer.

Bold and Expressive Personality 

People who like standing out in any way prefer to make bold and visible tattoos. Designs include bold blackwork or abstract art, tattoos with meaningful symbolism, etc. This option is suitable for individuals that are comfortable with making their tattoos visible.

Deep Thinking People and Storytellers

There are some tattoos that do not aim at creating an artistic look but rather to evoke emotions or represent certain dates and memories. Such tattoos may include abstract storytelling art, dates, broken forms or layers of symbolic elements. They usually evolve along with the individual who wears them.

Real-life Placement Thinking 

Work-friendly tattoo choices

Many Indian users choose tattoos that can be concealed. The forearm's inside part, the upper arm and shoulder tattoos are commonly chosen, as they can be concealed when required. This helps to strike a balance between self-expression and career.

Lifestyle-dependent placement

If you are an athlete or someone who spends most of his time at the gym, you should avoid parts that wear off easily and have high friction. Shoulder and upper arm tattoos tend to last longer in such lifestyles. Tattoos on wrists are perfect for people leading easy lives.

Pain + comfort considerations

Placement also affects your pain level. Certain areas are considered more painful than others. People who get their first tattoo usually opt for the outer arm and shoulder area because of their easy healing process.

Placement is more important than the design

Semi-permanent tattoos: The Smart Trial Option

Test it Before Commit

Not everybody is prepared for making a commitment to permanent tattoos. Semi-permanent tattoos allow you to test out the designs for days or weeks before committing to something permanent. This is becoming very popular in India among the younger generations looking for a confidence boost before the commitment.

Try Different Styles Without Pressure

You get the chance to explore minimal, bold, or even symbolic designs without the pressure of commitment.

Lower the Chances of Regret

Tattoo regret occurs because most times people make rash decisions, but with semi-permanent tattoos, you have the opportunity to try the design before committing to it forever.

Try before you commit permanently
