no matter how skinny you are wearing tights low or midway pushes into your skin and makes a fat roll looking thing, or just an ugly indent. I and all my dance teachers as well pull the tights just below the boobs. this makes you look smooth, sucks in your stomach, and helps for support.

Mostly, a matter of personal preference.
If you wear them over your leo (as some people do) you can either pull them up to your waist, or if they are long enough, to just below your sternum. Some people prefer to pull them up "empire waist" style because they feel it is more flattering. I prefer to wear mine (If I wear them on the outside) right at my waist, because the top line of the tights provides a good straight line to check hip alignment (similiar to the way some dancers wear elastic bands around their waiste to check hip alignment.
If you wear them under your leo, pull them up at least to your waist. They need to fit you well in the crotch area so that you can fully execute grand plies and leaps.
If they are convertible tights (with open feet)- I usually wear mine pulled up to mid calf for warmup, and then wear them as foot tights when we do centre floor work.

My god, LOL. How helpless can one get when a resouce like yahoo answers is available. One can even ask people how to wear pants.
Any way it is comfortable for you, dear. The elastic will naturally stay on the narrowest part of your torso. Put it there.

One third of the way up the calf muscle. Feels good, looks good.

Just to the waist, it accentuates the waist under your leotard then.

Just above you belly button. If you wear them lower they will fall.
