About Tattoo Body Map

Tattoo Body Map is created by Vladimir Vishar and Kristina Vishar. It's a free, practical tool for planning where to get a tattoo — built by people who work with tattoos every day, not a medical resource.

Who's behind it

Vladimir and Kristina Vishar are the co-creators of Tattoo Body Map. The project brings together hands-on tattooing experience and the practical questions people actually ask before getting inked: where will it hurt, how will it age, and what suits the spot I have in mind.

How we put the guidance together

Each body area has a short set of facts — estimated pain, fading risk, healing, visibility and the sizes and styles that tend to suit it. Pain and fade ratings are estimates based on common tattoo-artist experience and frequently-reported client feedback. They are a general guide to help you plan — not measurements, and not a promise of how something will feel or age for you.

For the full methodology and the scales we use, see How it works.
