The wrist is a great place for a tattoo that you can hide or show off however you want. What an ideal place for your favorite saying or symbol.
Types of Wrist Tattoo Designs
The most common location is the inside of the wrist. They are very popular because it is easier to hide an inner wrist tattoo. Some people like to have their wrist tattoo on the upper part of the wrist in combination with a tattoo sleeve or hand tattoos. Even more daring is a tattoo that goes around the wrist like a bracelet. Such a tattoo is like an armband tattoo but much lower. Pink has “What Goes Around Comes Around” and “TRU LUV” encircling her right wrist. Peaches Geldof has a crucifix tattoo around her left wrist.
Nautical stars and words are probably the most commonly used wrist tattoos. Wristband tattoos are usually Celtic knots or barbed wire. In addition to English words, both Kanji and Sanskrit are often used. Women sometimes get tattoos of flowers, hearts, or kissing lips.
Get a wrist tattoo
Are they painful to get? This is to be expected, as there is little to cushion the needle in the wrist area, but most people with tattoos say no. Also, since the wrist area is exposed, the healing time may be longer and may require touch-up in the future as well. Also, 25% regret their decision to get tattooed after the fact, so consider this before getting one.
Chances are, you need to keep it hidden while you’re at work. Unless you want to wear long sleeves all the time, a great trick is to make sure a wristwatch can cover it. After hours, you can uncover and display your ink all you want and want.
