Wrist Tattoos

Wrist Tattoos are fast-becoming one of the most popular styles of tattoo to have done. Celebrities from Lindsay Lohan to Victoria Beckham have recently had wrist tattoos, further adding to their popularity!

The wrist is a great place to have a tattoo, but there are also considerations you have to think about!

The shape of the wrist means that certain designs are particularly suited to that area of the body. Popular styles are "wristband" tattoos – like armbands only around the wrist instead. These are often barbed wire or Celtic knot designs.

For non-wristband styles, stars, hearts and flowers are usually the most popular. Some people like to have words tattooed on their wrist – perhaps a mantra or famous saying. The singer Pink has the words "What Goes Around Comes Around" tattooed around her wrist. As well as English words, Sanskrit wrist tattoos also becoming popular.

Celebrities have always loved to get tattoos, and wrist tattoos are no exception. Stars from supermodels to reality TV show stars have all been spotted with wrist tattoos. Just a small example...
