The arm is also a perfect place to make tattoos with phrases or names. It is advisable to use fairly simple and easy-to-read letters, it will give you a very original aesthetic.
Women usually prefer to make a single word, which conveys a clear message about their personality, to give it a high meaning. Men tend to opt for more aesthetic designs.
Types of tattoos on the arm
First, there are the most classic, which are the tattoos on the arm that go from the lower part of the shoulder to before the elbow. Tribal tattoos were widely used in that area during the 90s, as they were very popular.
There are also those of the arm and shoulders, which start from the neck or mid-trapezius, the shoulder and the arm. They are very large tattoos that will take too many hours of sessions to finish. Especially if they are in color and are heavily loaded.
There are the half sleeves, which take part of the forearm. They look great on men and give you a tough guy air. But it is also applicable to women.
Any type of small tattoo in the wrist area is very discreet. The most daring may opt for their hands to tattoo smaller things.
And finally we have the sleeves. In these cases they are made up to the forearm and wrist. It is always good that you decide in time what type of tattoo you are going to choose, so the design is better projected.
Full arm tattoos look great even in color. But personally I do not like tattoos excessively loaded with ink. Since it is much more aesthetic to also play with your own skin tone as if it were another color.
One of the most popular questions is:
Does tattooing on your arm hurt?
The pain tolerance of each person will be relative, since all tattoos hurt. Therefore, an absolute answer cannot be given. But the truth is that, like the thighs, the arms are an area of many muscles. At least generally, and where there are fewer nerve endings. For this reason, it is one of the places on the body that hurts the least.
Perhaps because it is easier to bear the pain than in other areas, it is the preferred place for most people to get a tattoo. Although the most painful areas are always the most sensitive and the ones with the least meat.
So the inside of the arm and the armpits are painful areas. Also the most bony area of the shoulder and elbow are very painful areas only suitable for the brave who are willing to endure it. If you are going to get a large tattoo on your arm, you already know what you are exposing yourself to.
