20 Beautiful Armband Tattoos

Tattoo art is becoming more and more famous in these past few years. Since pop stars started getting tattoos, followed by the actresses and actors, and even supermodels, it became a very popular trend.

Armband tattoos however, have been popular for decades (unlike star shaped or ankle tattoos, whose popularity is connected to the 90’s). There are few very simple reasons for this: men (they are target audience for armband tattoos) love to show off, these tattoos look good even after many years, you can cover up if you want to and finally this spot is least painful for tattoo process.

Handling the pain is highly individual but unlike the ankle (which is considered a painful tattooing spot), armband is considered a spot which hurts much less, and that is why people often decide to put a tattoo there.

There is a huge variety of images, shapes and styles which would look good as an armband tattoo; for instance Celtic imagery, tribal tattoos, hearts and insects, and for ladies wine and flowers. If you are creative, you can combine these styles, but be sure to have a great artist to help you choose the right mix and make a great picture to start with.
The most important thing, after you decide what the right image is for you, is the right colour selection. If you are not into tribal tattoos, which are almost always black, try being sure to have a range of colours which contrast your skin, it will give you a great effect and a special touch to your tattoo.

Since tattoos are a permanent addition to your style and look, be sure to think twice about the choice of the picture and colour range. You should browse through variety of images before you find an adequate one, which will best represent your style and personality.
