Best Wrist Tattoos To Get

Posted by Tattooaholic

cool wristband tattooBest Wrist Tattoos To Get

If you decide to get a wrist tattoo you need to know that your wrist has very little fat on it, which means getting a tattoo there will hurt more. Since the skin is thin and the bones are less protected by fat, having a tattoo needle injecting ink in your wrist will bring on more pain than if you had a tattoo on your shoulder. Your tattoo artist will also have to watch out for the many veins that run through your wrist. Getting a wrist tattoo might be more of a risk that you would want to take. Obviously people get wrist tattoos all of the time, but you have to know that there is more of a risk than normal if you choose to get a tattoo there.

Smaller wrist tattoos might lower your risk of damaging the veins, but then again you might not like your tattoo if it has to be less detailed because of the size. The wrist is a great place to put any form of tribal art, butterflies, crosses or just a plain band around the wrist. If you want a wrist tattoo, you can always add names, or words such as Hope, Faith, Honesty or any other word that describes who you are.

Larger wrist tattoos could be creative such as stitches holding your arm and wrist together. If your wrist tattoo becomes too large then you would be getting into having what’s called a ‘half-sleeve’ tattoo. A half-sleeve might not be what you are looking for if you want your wrist tattoo to be simple. The nicest looking wrist tattoos are wristbands or bracelets. These styles can be anything you choose, but many people tend to go with the tribal art form for their wristband tattoo.

A 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.
