Over the Knee
Leg tattoos certainly aren't a new trend, but if you're not feeling the traditional approach, consider rocking an over-the-knee option. Whether it's peeking out from the top of your boots or you catch a slight glimpse of it when wearing a summery dress, it'll definitely doll up your legs in the cutest of ways.

Ankle Bone Bonus
The ankle has always been a popular spot, but with all sorts of slip-on shoes becoming popular, getting inked right in this area is a great place to add even more style alongside a trendy shoe. A small-scale design right at the side of the bone itself will definitely take your shoe game to the next level.

Collarbone Eye Candy
The thought of getting a tattoo right on a bone may not seem totally pleasant, but it'll certainly pay off in the end. A minimalist design placed either on or underneath the collarbone is bound to cause some double takes.
