« A Brief Tattoo History How to Try Your Tattoo on Before You Get it Inked »
Wrist tattoos are quickly becoming one of the most popular ways to customize your body! From Hollywood A-listers like Victoria Beckham and Lindsay Lohan to ordinary people such as you and me!
Favorite designs for women include stars, fairies, flowers and rosaries. For men, favorite designs include flames, Celtic designs, stars and tribal tattoos. For women, favorites include stars, fairies, flowers and rosaries.
But wrist tattoos are permanent and you need to be sure of what you’re doing before you go ahead and get one! Here are 3 things you need to consider.
Firstly, think about the pain! Common wisdom should make you realize that the wrist is quite a painful place to get a tattoo. If you’re not at all good with pain, or even just if it’s your first tattoo, perhaps consider somewhere on your body that has a bit more flesh to soften the impact of the tattoo needle.
Tattoos on thinner areas of skin take longer to heal, and may need to be refreshed more often to keep the design sharp.
Secondly, wrist tattoos (particularly those with stars) were traditionally associated with the gay and lesbian communities. This isn’t the case as much now, but before you get a permanent tattoo, you should be aware of the history of your design.
Thirdly, and most importantly, make sure you are sure! This might sound obvious but a lot of people don’t think about it. Having a tattoo on your wrist is a very visible place to have such a permanent mark. If you have a tattoo on your shoulder or back, it’s quite easy to hide. But on your wrist it’s almost impossible to hide it completely.
You might think it looks good, but what about your parents. And what about your boss or future employers! It would be unwise to negatively impact your job prospects for years to come because of one tattoo from your youth.
As you can see, there are some serious things to consider. But it’s not all bad news! Wrist tattoos are a great way to make your body more individual and show people your style.
All you need to be is SURE before you go ahead!
