Okay, so I saw this picture of Elina Svitolina, the tennis player, and I was like, “Woah, that tiger tattoo on her thigh is fierce!” I’ve been thinking about getting a tattoo for a while, and this really sparked something. I wanted to know more about it, you know, the whole process.

Digging into the Design
First things first, I started searching for more pictures. I wanted to get a really good look at the design.
- I zoomed in on every photo I could find of her on the court.
- Scrolled through tons of images, just trying to get different angles.
It’s a pretty detailed tiger, not just a simple outline, I can tell that much.
Placement and Style
Her tattoo’s on her upper thigh, which I think is a cool, kinda bold placement.
It got me researching what it is about, so many articles!
The Pain (the most important, perhaps…)
Next, my brain went, “Okay, but how much does that placement hurt?” I have no tattoos, totally new to this, I heard many different ideas and suggestions, so many experiences to learn from, and tried to see what the artist thinks.
I wanted to find anyone who had that simliar tattoo, and ask them how the experience goes.
Eventually, I successfully got all the details I wanted to know and got all the answers I had. So excited and I am going to make an appointment to get my own tiger tattoo!
