With that in mind ; here are some of the rarest locations in south asia as per specially pakistan and india according to experts.
- Whites of the eye
Believe it or not, some people choose tyo get tattooed on the whites of their eye. Would sound very distrubing to anyone who hears this but its not only a unique spot, but one that’s also kind of dangerou, which can be appealing for someone who wants to make a statement or try something new.
“ This is a risky place for the ink injected,”Amjad says. “ Anything on the face shows how we express [ ourselvers] to the out world and getting the whites of the eye inked definitely sends the message that you are different, and daring.”
And yet, due to possible consequences, its an area you’d want to discuss with your tattoo artist – and also not just the tattoo artist but a doctor – before having it done.
- Eyelids
In our south asian culture women tend to get eyelids tattooed being another rarity aside from permenent makeup, designs on the eyelids are starting to come up it does, however, still remain an incredibly rare location on the body for ink.

He tattooed flowers on the cartilage of the ear, then put diamond studs insde the flower, while it sounds beautiful, it definately not a tattoo location he sees requested everyday.
- Bottom of the foot

In his eight years as a tattoo artist he has only done one of the bottom of the foot tattoo because they commonly fade away
- Palm area
Sultan has only had two clients request tattoos on the palm of their hands. Just like the bottom of the foot, this location doesnt hold ink very well . So while it may look great in the short term it’s important to keep in mind that it isnt important to keep in mind that it isnt likely to last long.
- Inner Lip tattoo
While this tattoo location is picking up the steam among celebr ities for its uniqueness, inner lips tattoo location are not the most common spot for everyone else.
This however is more intimate location, so considering tattoos tend to be a form of expression, it’s not typical to have a tattoo in this location.
