A wrist tattoo gives you complete freedom of expression in a really unique and individual way. Wrist tattoos are coming into popularity but not overexposed. Any word, phrase, or image that appeals to you can usually be tattooed on your wrist, so the possibilities are limited only by your imagination.

Wrist tattoos are so popular for a lot of reasons. They are small (hence, inexpensive), showy, one-of-a-kind, and versatile. You can express whatever you want with a wrist tattoo. If you get one, you?d better be okay with being the center of attention. Wrist tattoos are incredibly easy to spot, and you?re sure to be asked all about why you got it, when you got it, and how it felt.

You?re probably curious about the pain level as well. Tats are not a walk in the park, but your skin adjusts after the few five minutes and then it?s not so bad. People say it feels similar to bee stings, pinching, or sunburn. Not only does it vary by individual, but by the size and location of the tattoo. It?s not as painful to tattoo a fleshy part of the body as it is to tattoo thin skin over bones. So a wrist tattoo will probably hurt more than other types of tattoos, but it won?t be for long.

Wrist tattoos come in three basic varieties: the wraparound tattoo, the top of the wrist, or the inside of the wrist. The wraparound or ?bracelet? style is a popular choice, inspired most likely from the bicep armbands higher up on the arm. There are a lot of creative possibilities for this kind of tattoo. Tattoos on the top of the wrist are much more visible. In fact, other than the hand or face, they?re probably the most prominent location for a tattoo. Inner wrist tattoos are unique and bold. They suggest vulnerability or a heartfelt sentiment, so they are popular places to tattoo meaningful words or phrases.

Always remember the prominent location of your wrist tattoo when you?re thinking about getting inked. You?ll run into situations in your life when you?ll want to conceal your tattoo for prudence?s sake. Sometimes your workplace?s dress code even requires that no tattoos be visible, so it may even be necessary for you to be able to cover up your tattoo. It goes without saying that you shouldn?t get a tattoo that you aren?t proud to have and show off, but that doesn?t mean that you?ll never have situations in your life where you don?t want them to be visible.
