Wrist tattoos are becoming more and more popular and the selection of designs and where to place them is endless. You can choose to have your tattoo encircle your entire wrist (bracelet style) that mimics the armband style which is placed around the upper arm. Or, you may want it to start at the top of your wrist and extend it up into your arm or down towards your hand. You might even prefer having your tattoo placed only on your inner wrist where it is less noticeable. Wherever you decide to have it placed, you can choose for it to be either tiny or extremely large.
The popularity of tattoos on the wrist is rising and this has prompted more wrist designs to become available. Women often favor the bracelet style and choose images ranging from flowers and barb wire! Star designs are popular too and some people prefer to put their own personal touch into the design by having words, hearts and names inked around their wrist. Tattoo artists prefer smaller designs because the wrist is small and is sometimes cumbersome and awkward to work on.
If you have decided to take the plunge and get tattooed on your wrist, then keep in mind that your tattoo will be highly visible, whether you are at home, at play or at work. Some professional offices frown on tattoos so be sure to keep that in mind if you work in this type of office environment. Some businesses absolutely will not allow tattoos to be visible on their employees. And, you may miss out on important career opportunities if your tattoo can’t be hidden in some way. Also, the tattooing process on the wrist can be quite painful and healing can take longer. Touch ups are sometimes needed because the wrist is in continual movement and tends to stretch the design over time.
Wrist tattoos can provide you with years of enjoyment and can be designed to look beautiful and appealing. Be sure to select a design that you can live with and think about how others might react when they see it. If you are a professional business person, make sure that you are prepared to hide it in some way during office hours. Then, enjoy it to the fullest in the privacy of your own home and share the beauty of it with others when you are out having fun!
