Arm Tattoos

Arm tattoos might be the most popular type of body art around. Once a favorite of sailors in the 19th century, today they represent the ultimate place to begin and add on to one’s body modification.

Arm tattoos have a lot of good things going for them. The arm is a flexible body space, which is ideal for incorporating simple interconnected designs in a variety of ways. They are also great for continually adding on new designs, and Arm tattoos are some of the least painful tats because of the amount of muscle in the area. This makes them ideal as a first tat choice for body art beginners.

Of all the arm tattoo locations---armband tattoos might be the trendiest of all. They look cool, and there are an unlimited amount of cool designs available such as tribal armband tattoos, Celtic armband tattoos, and Hawaiian armband tattoos. Perhaps it’s the flexibility that makes armband tats the trendiest of arm tattoos. They can be hidden easily or displayed prominently. And arm tattoos that incorporate that circular band around the arm can be both masculine and feminine, allowing for a great degree of artistic expression on the part of the wearer and the tattoo artist.

But these designs aren’t just limited to the armband variety. Forearm tattoos are also cool choices as a form of body art—especially with serpentine designs that can circle around the arm in a myriad of different shapes. Wrist cuffs are another form of popular arm tattoos but can be a little more painful and prone to infection. As with any arm tattoos, but especially a wrist cuff, be sure to discuss your design with your tattoo artist. They can help you go over a design that will be cool and timeless and also give you important after-care instructions that will keep all your arm tattoos in good shape for the rest of your life.
