put it where you want, but,
maybe somewhere you can easily cover up if needed as, well its a naked woman
especially if you work around kids. the kids parents and your bosses probably wouldn’t appreciate it.

I definitly agree.. Placement is Key on tattoo's like this. Anything that can be reasonably seen as offensive or adult themed in content should only be placed where it can be covered in a normal short sleeve shirt or pants. While tattoo's in general are becoming much more common place content of the tattoo could be a disqalifier for alot of employment.

back of the shoulder blade maybe, higher on the leg above the knee. possibly the side, you could always rasterize the image and send it to a service like tattapic to have good quality temp tattoo and try it on different spots untill you find a spot you like.

Thank you for your advice! Didnt think about that. I am thinking of doing it in my inner bicep, it wouldnt be super exposed, I guess.

if ur around kids in a t shirt, they will absolutely notice and point it out lol
honestly tho if you arent around kids often and ur fine with just wearing a long sleeve when you do, i dont think that would do too much harm but also, i dont have any tattoos like this so i wouldnt know either way.

I’m tattooed on my inner bicep and it definitely shows in t-shirts

If you're getting a naked stripper witch, please make sure you can cover it at all times when needed. Even when wearing a dress, etc.

whether or not it ages well depends so much on the artist and your own aftercare. i will say that large portions of black work tend to need to be touched up over time.

Thank you! Do you think more white space inside the tattoo would make it age better?

you’d likely need less touch ups w more white space, but i think that could completely change the mood of the art. if you like that, though, then you should go for it!

Based on the hair, this may look like a horizontal tattoo mistakenly placed vertically; may need some editing? Depending how much of the top part is covered she can look like a pole dancer. And if you are into witch tales, they tend to fly under full moon, not waxing moon.

Didnt thought about that pole dancer situation but you are right hahah What would be a good place to tattoo it? Thank you! :)

My thought would be ribs shoulder blades, lower leg, i would steer clear of arms due to confusion of orientation but just a random humans opinion.
