Sleeve tattoos make you stand out from the crowd. Some of these designs can make your arm look like a piece of canvas.

Getting tattoos on the chest for men can be risky and unappealing unless done right with the correct design. The key to having a good chest design is to have something unique and special when it comes to the artwork. It’s a part of our bodies that we don’t necessarily have to show and can be something personal.
7. Leg / Calf tattoos

Leg tattoos can look really sexy if done right. If you want to get a big tattoo and can’t really get one on the arms due to social and professional restrictions, you can always explore the idea of getting one on your legs. Again, big artwork ideas are the way to go here.
8. Neck tattoos

Neck tattoos are not advisable unless you are a badass and can withstand acute pain. You need to understand that some parts of your body are sensitive and getting a tattoo on these parts may cause excruciating pain. The general neck area happens to be one of these areas but having a tattoo on the neck is a way to show the world what matters a lot to you.
