What to Know Before Getting a Chest Tattoo

What to Consider Before Getting a Chest Tattoo

We've mentioned this tattoo placement tends to be more visible than others, so you might want to consider that if you work in more corporate environments. In those cases, stick to a smaller design or one that can be easily covered up during the workweek. "If you want your tattoo to be hidden, I wouldn't recommend a large chest tattoo," Paulino says. "Unless you live somewhere where it doesn't get warm and you're mostly in high-neck shirts year round."

Plus, because this is an area that's also more visible than, say, your stomach, it will be more exposed to the sun, so you'll want to make sure to keep the tattoo adequately protected with sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) to prevent any fading.
