Let him take advantage of your artistic skills and you give hints, ideas, and suggested changes. Too long? You can easily choose one of the thousands of ideas on the internet and draw inspiration or, you can copy it and ask for just a few small changes!
How to choose the right tattoo for you
First of all, you have to decide where on the arm to do it and if it should also cover another area, such as the shoulder, a part of the back, the neck, etc. Nobody forbids you to choose a small tattoo, such as a swallow or a four-leaf clover.
After precisely you have to decide what to tattoo. From here it is then natural to choose the size of your tattoo. Do you want to know which are the most common (but not trivial) tattoos? Here you are satisfied!
The initials
They are the most popular. Small
and discreet, they can be tattooed anywhere on the arm. The initials can be yours, those of the parents, of a friend, of the boyfriend, or even those of the dog. In our opinion, it is good to be careful. While the initials are not as demanding as the full name, they are still risky.
The only ones you will probably never regret are those of your children, perhaps the parents and the dog, but beware of friends and boyfriends who are here today and who knows tomorrow! You may find yourself dealing with the initials of someone you hate now, well stamped on your skin by the way.
Tattoos with lettering
They are not always the same as names, sometimes they can be quotations or passages from books. They can be verses from songs or a thought that you have given birth to at a particular time in your life. These types of tattoos are usually linked to particular memories and lend themselves well to the arms because they go in length. Short lettering is usually tattooed on the wrists, and long ones on the forearms.
Maori tattoos
Maori tattoos, much loved by both women and men, are abstract designs with tribal shapes. The Maori are in fact a population of Polynesia, which uses the tattoo as a sacred rite. They themselves have practically covered the body. This is because they consider the tattoo as a ritual that accompanies the person during growth, marking the various “enterprises”. In fact, every now and then they are retouched according to the changes faced.
Here in Italy, the most common type of Maori tattoo is the Kirituhi one. You can choose from many different styles and there is certainly no shortage of ideas on the internet. Our advice, however, is to look for a good tattoo artist expert in this kind of tattoo, who must also be aware of the culture of these fascinating people.
Fiori
Floral motifs are the most popular, perhaps more among women than men, but they are still very popular. Climbing plants up the arm, but also other much more stylized versions. They can be small and inconspicuous or large and eccentric.
Colored or black and white?
One of the most common questions is this. Do I get a black-and-white tattoo, or do I choose a colored one? The decision is yours alone! It all depends on your taste and what you are looking for. Colored tattoos are clearly more suitable for example if you choose to tattoo flowers or a particular figure if you want a cheerful tattoo. However, it is not easy to know how to carry and can be boring in our opinion. Much better than the black and white tattoo from this point of view, but the defect is that in the long run, it can be a bit flat.
There are tattoos that necessarily have to be black and white, such as the Maori. . Don’t forget that there are many in between. For example, you can choose to get a tattoo with a maximum of one or two colors, in addition to black and white. Evaluate well and as always, ask your tattoo artist for the advice!
Tattoo for men or women?
In our opinion, there are no exclusively male or female tattoos. After all, everyone has their own tastes and, even a very strong tattoo such as a tiger tattooed on the arm is not the exclusive prerogative of the male sex. The important thing is that you choose a tattoo that you feel comfortable with, that you are not ashamed to exhibit, and that you feel is an integral part of you.
Let’s take flowers, for example, both men and women get these tattoos. But pin-ups are also very popular with both sexes, some for one reason and some for another.
