Usually the only place I've ever gotten ink on myself while tattooing (except in the rare instance of ink bottle mishaps) is on my legs. I just tear a dental bib in half, and tape each half over my thighs and throw the pieces away when I'm done working. I like it better than plastic, because a droplet won't run down it and get somewhere else, or I don't get that icky feeling of re-using it and wondering if it's actually sanitary or not as I go from client to client.
