Tattooing is an ancient art that has significantly evolved over the years. Nowadays, tattoo artists use advanced techniques and equipment to create stunning works of art on their clients' skin. However, certain body areas are more challenging to tattoo than others.

To be successful in Bali tattoo shops, you must have a solid understanding of human anatomy. Tattooing will differ depending on the part of the body, and you must know how to get the ink into the right layer of skin.

With that being said, there are some particularly challenging body parts that you should avoid when first starting your tattooing career.

Some basic information you should keep in mind before tattooing them:

Different body parts have different skin thicknesses, so you need to adjust your technique accordingly. For example, when tattooing over a bone, like the collarbone, the skin will be thinner than on the arm, so you won't want to go in as deep. Additionally, people have different skin types, so you'll need to understand how thick or thin a person's skin is when you do their tattoo. This is particularly important for older clients, who tend to have thinner skin. Take the first two minutes of your tattooing time to understand the client's skin type so you can make adjustments.

Here are the five hardest areas to tattoo:

1. Armpit -

This area can be difficult because of the extra skin. Stretching the area out and keeping the shape of the armpit in mind makes this an even tougher placement to tattoo.

2. Stomach -

This area is difficult to tattoo because of the extra skin, and it is also one of the most painful areas. This can make it harder on both you and the client.

3. Ribs -

This area is challenging because it's really hard to stretch out that area, and the rib bones can make the area feel “bumpy,” even when the skin is stretched. Rib tattoos can be set up for failure because the client has to be in an uncomfortable position for a very painful tattoo. If you don't understand how to use the right amount of pressure, stretch out the skin, and hold the client still, the tattoo could easily go wrong.

4. Hands and Face -

We recommend avoiding hands, the face, or any areas where it could affect jobs or the client for the rest of their life. Until you've had at least three years of experience with professional tattooing, it's best not to tattoo areas that are so hard to cover. Thin skin on the hands and face could result in blowouts, and you need a good understanding of how the tattooing and healing process works before you touch these areas. Additionally, how hands move, especially palms and knuckles results in faster fading.

5. Throat -

This area is difficult because of the way the jaw and chin make it hard to position your machine. Trying to get the tattoo machine to fit into that area might stress you out and mess up the tattoo. Throat tattoos are also uncomfortable for the client because they have to stretch their necks out as much as possible for a long time, and they may get lightheaded.
