With the leg being such an obscure body part, calf tattoo ideas try to capture beauty and coolness effectively. While in the winter season, with the cold weather outside, the calf tattoos you have are covered, in the summer — you can show them off to the world. But why get a tattoo if you are not going to show it off? Because of this question, it's vital to understand the uniqueness of a calf tattoo.
As with any leg tattoo that people decide to get, a calf one will be less visible than an arm one. For this reason, these types of tattoos must be creative and flexible in how they approach the design. However, the benefits that leg tattoos bring with them overshadow every negative thing. While more visible tattoo designs usually take the spotlight, the simple calf and leg tattoo ideas grab that attention right from them once they get revealed.
So, if you are out looking for cool tattoos to look at and maybe get inspired by — you are in luck. Below, we have compiled a list of the most creative tattoos for the calf. Upvote the ones that caught your eye the most, and leave a comment if you have a similar tattoo. On the other hand, if these ones didn’t amuse you, we have more tattoos on other lists.

beautiful! however, one thing to consider about watercolour/edgeless tattoo's is that they can fade and lose definition more with age, though it depends on your skin as well, I suppose.

I absolutely love tattoos, I've got quite a few myself. However, I'm partial to custom tattoos over flash. My first 3 were all flash and turned out nicely, but I would much rather pay for a nice custom design. Custom tattoos make it far less likely to see your tattoo on someone else.
