wrist tatooo 1 How to Choose Wrist Tattoos wrist tatoo 2 How to Choose Wrist Tattoos Wrist tattoos are common in many celebrities and have caught on with many people that have chosen tattoos on the wrist from words to zodiac symbols. Wrist tattoos are a great way to express yourself with a unique design.

There is one difference between the wrist tattoos that men get and the wrist tattoos that women get. Men get tattoos on the wrist that seems to go around the entire wrist, the front as well as the back. More women prefer wrist tattoos that are delicate and contain words and other small symbols which are tattooed on the inside of the wrist.

Choosing a wrist tattoo can be difficult, as this is a very visible part of the body and therefore the wrist tattoo should be chosen accordingly. Be sure to choose a tattoo that you can live with, as it will be visible to yourself and many others on the wrist at all times.

You could have her actual name tattooed in lovely writing and some angel wings with the date she was born, any good to you? Good luck.

Is a guy getting a word tattoo on his inner wrist completely unheard of? i had one planned out and everything until a friend of mine told me its a girl tattoo idea. i know this page agrees with him but would that be the end of the world if i got one?

Doni, don’t listen to what your friend says. Get a tattoo because it is something you want, where you want. If you want a tattoo on your inner wrist, get one on your inner wrist. It isn’t completely unheard of, and if that’s what you want and you like it, who cares what your friend or any one else thinks?

I just got a tattoo that goes all the way around my wrist, and I’m a girl. And I love it even though most girls don’t do it.

I’m a girl and I have a Support Our Troops canadian ribbon, that’s wrapped around my wrist like a cuff. Do what you want because it means something to you. :)

I’m planning on getting a tatto in memory of my 5 friends who have died. I was plannin on getting a tattoo in my own handwriting that says, never forget. with 5 hearts under it. in the colours of their birthstones. and another tattoo, would be music notes. because, i LOVE music. and so did my bestest friend ever, who passed away in an accident. and possibly another which was drawn by my friend. who also died. she was an artist. sister of my bestest friend. Is this a good idea?

All of these ideas sound awesome. I have a peace sign tattooed on my wrist. It’s symbolic because when I got it done I had absolutely no peace in my life, so I found my form of it in my tattoo. As for the pain, it’s not that bad. I would compare it to a cat scratch myself.

I would love a wrist tatt to represent my journey into my 3 years so far into sobriety. Not like the words Alcoholics Anonymous sheesh… I like the idea of a Maori design as I am one. Any suggestions.

Hey ya’ll. I’m thinking about getting two tattoos, one a beautiful design on by back, but also the lyrics to this song I’ve loved for my whole life. my mother says if I get it now, i’ll regret it forever, but honestly, does anyone thing I would regret bringing a part of my up-bringing into the future with me? I think its a brillian idea.

hi, i want to get a tattoo on my wrist in memory of my grandfather. I am tattooing his favorite saying on the inside of my wrist and i have heard that tattoos on the inside of the wrist were feminine. I wanted to hear more people’s opinions and if anyone has an idea of what kind of font would make it look really cool, please let me know right away. thank you

dont worry about your foot hurting it should be nothing, i have my whole side from hip to under armpit done and it hardly even hurt just was uncomfortable and annoying. the shading actually felt quite nice. th outline is the worst bit. its seriously nothing, you just work yourself up:) does anyone have any nice ideas for a tattoo for my twin sister? having a complete mind blank…
