Where to get a 'Hakuna Matata' tattoo
Ankle
For the ankle we always choose small and discreet designs. Because the area also requires it, we do not want to recharge it but for our tattoo to be the main one in it. Hence, for a place like this, it is best to opt for small letters, with touches of color if you prefer. Although the symbol is also one of those chosen for this place, as we say, for its space.
Floor
When we have a slightly larger canvas, we always have the option of letters, infinity and adding some more detail to it. The sides of the foot are also chosen to be able to wear a tattoo of this type. It will always depend on the taste of each one, but it is true that in this area the two base words of today's star tattoo would be better, to make it simple, in black ink.
Arm
It is true that the arm is always one of those canvases that we love when it comes to choose tattoos. We have many options and it is a wide area that admits a lot of variety. You can get your tattoo on the inside of the forearm, although also in the back area and just above the elbow is another of the perfect areas for it. But also the sides and even the wrists are outlined among the great favorites. Of course, always depending on the type of design: If we choose only the two words, if we decorate them with color or with a single symbol. What would be your favorite?
