from: Wrist Tattoos—Putting Body Art On Public Display
There are many different areas on your body where you can get a tattoo. Where you choose tog et inked is a personal decision and is most likely affected by many personal factors. While it might not seem like it, this decision is big and could impact many other aspects of your life. Wrist tattoos are becoming more and more common—but is this the best choice for your tattoo placement?
The Various Styles Of Wrist Tattoos
Wrist tattoos come in many different styles. The first style is a wristband or bracelet tattoo. This kind of wrist tattoo circles the wrist and is very similar to an arm tattoo (a tattoo that circles the upper arm).
Many people choose to get wrist tattoos on the top of the wrist. These are the most visible wrist tattoos, and they can extend onto the hand or arm. A tattoo on the upper wrist can be very small and simple, or it can be very large and intricate.
The final style of wrist tattoo is one located on the inner wrist. These are often times preferred because they aren’t very visible, and many consider them to be more mysterious and interesting.
The Downside To Wrist Tattoos
Yes, wrist tattoos are becoming more and more common, but they might not be the best choice for tattoo placement. There are two main reasons why you might want to consider another spot for your tattoo: pain and professionalism.
Wrist tattoos tend to hurt more than other tattoos when you are having them done. This is because the wrist does not have very much fat or muscle to provide a cushion for the needle. Also, the wrist area has a very high mobility, meaning that a wrist tattoo might take longer to heal. The tattoo also might require more touch ups.
Another disadvantage to having a wrist tattoo is the visibility factor. A wrist tattoo is typically more visible than any other tattoo, which could present a problem in the workplace, where tattoos are frequently banned.
If you know that tattoo visibility is going to be an issue where you work, then you should probably get your tattoo on part of your body that is less visible, such as your back. However, many wrist tattoos can be easily covered up with a bracelet or wrist watch.
Tattoo Placement Presents A Tricky Problem
The problem of tattoo placement can be overcome by simply considering your own lifestyle before you get your tattoo. Make sure you consider factors such as visibility, pain, and tattoo size before making your final decision.
