Ankle tattoos are popular for both guys and girls because it’s a good location to put a tattoo that you do not necessarily want shown all of the time.

Guys and girls can also get a tattoo that looks like an ankle bracelet, but for guys it can be a more manly design such as a rope or thorns and for girls it can be a flower with vines that wrap around the ankle. Whatever you choose for your ankle tattoo, it’s a great place to have it because you can always hide it if, for example you have a job that does not allow tattoos to be shown.

A Tribal Armband Tattoo In Color

Posted by Tattooaholic

color armband tattooA Tribal Armband Tattoo In Color

Usually tribal tattoos are in black ink and not in color, especially armband tattoos. If you look at most tribal armband tattoos you will see dark ink, mostly black used. Some people do get their tribal armband tattoo in color, in which case you will find that they use dark colors and will compliment the black ink used. An example that some guys would use are dark reds but outlined with the traditional black ink. Since most tribal tattoos are already dark, it looks better to keep your colors dark instead of trying to get a lighter color such as yellow or light blue when you get a tribal armband tattoo.

A tribal armband tattoo on a woman is totally different than those on guys. Girls are allowed to lighten the colors up a bit and can use more colors. A traditional tribal armband tattoo will still be outlined in black, but for women they will keep it outlined, rather than fill it in. It makes it easier for girls to get colorful tribal armband tattoos because they will not look bad on them, versus a guy getting a colorful armband tattoo when they are usually black.

If you have questions about the different colors you might want for your tribal armband tattoo then its best to ask your tattoo artist. Some colors will not go well and even so, some colors might not look good with specific designs such as the tribal armband design.

There are two ways women usually go when choosing the colors for their feminine tattoos. Most women choose feminine colors or girly colors such as soft pinks, reds and some blues, or they can choose stronger and bold colors that stand out more. Choosing a more feminine color makes the tattoo choices harder, because most designs do not look good with pink and baby blue colors. These two colors do look great together and would look good on any feminine or girly tattoo design.

Most colors can become feminine by making them lighter or softer. Even dark colors can look feminine by making them lighter than normal. Lighter purple colors look good on feminine tattoos such as most flowers and butterfly tattoos. A strong and bold color would be darker colors, reds and black. These can be used with lighter colors and still give you the feminine tattoo you are looking for.

pink feminine tattoosNeutral colors you can use on feminine tattoos are medium colors, such as orange, yellow and green. Even a darker pink is bold and yet is still very feminine. The color you choose for your feminine tattoo will make all of the difference on how girly your tattoo will be.
