Thigh tattoos are a common favorite since they’re easy enough to cover up or show off, depending on what you’re wearing. This makes it practical when you have a job that requires you to cover up your tattoos.
You also have the option of putting a small tattoo high up on your thigh so only you know it’s there — in other words, a secret tattoo.
Design-wise, there are endless options, but today I’ll be covering thigh tattoo quotes. They’re an easy way to express how you feel or what you believe in. Plus, you can keep them as simple calligraphy tattoos or go with an elaborate, artsy design if you want.
So, are you ready to dive in?
