Different tattoos have always been a way to stand out. There was a time when a special fashion for large detailed tattoos appeared literally all over the body. Sometimes they were beaten almost thoughtlessly. Now the fashion for tattoos is back, but now unusual graceful sketches with a deep meaning prevail, as a rule, almost individual. If this is new to you, but you really want to do it, tattoos on your arm are perfect.
Does it hurt to get a tattoo?
For a person who wants to get his first tattoo, the first thing that matters is how painful it is. The fear that some kind of electric machine will interact with the skin, inject some kind of paint there, which will remain there forever, repels many and becomes the reason for the rejection of the desire to decorate your body. In fact, everything is not so scary. Firstly, in the twenty-first century, there are many different anesthetic creams that can reduce pain to almost zero. It is very convenient, practical and safe.
Secondly, if the selected sketch is quite large in size, the craftsmen, as a rule, break up the work into several stages that are short in time. Of course, the longer the work, the more painful. If the pain scares you, and this is your first tattoo, do not choose something impressive. Among other things, masters can familiarize you with the so-called "pain map". Such cards indicate places on the body where to beat a tattoo is the most and least painful. The most painless are tattoos on the arm, namely on the shoulder and forearm, since there the skin is quite thick and far from the bone. And the closer the bone, the more painful the process of creating a picture on the body will be.
How to choose a tattoo
If a possible pain does not stop you, then it's time to decide on a sketch. To get started, look at the drawings on the Internet, perhaps you will like something specific, or you will understand in which direction to move. In addition, you can immediately contact the tattoo parlor, or find its page on social networks to familiarize yourself with the offers. Many tattoo artists themselves create various exclusive sketches that you definitely will not meet with anyone.
Creative people have a different way - to draw on their own what will show off later on for many years on your hand. This is the most interesting way, but also the most difficult. When choosing a sketch, consider that this drawing will remain on your skin for a very long time, respectively, you should like it and give pleasure to your look. Choose what is close to you: it can be a quote that means a lot to you, an animal with which you associate yourself, a sketch of your favorite artist, or even a doodle of your child! Let your imagination run wild and you won’t be disappointed. Paired tattoos are also quite popular - two identical or similar tattoos from best friends, lovers, spouses.
There are even extraordinary tattoos that serve as a replacement for engagement rings. This approach allows you to not only wear jewelry as a confirmation of your status, but to capture something important for both of you. This is undoubtedly very romantic.
Tattoos for men on the arm
Men and women rarely hit the same tattoo. The former often prefer the old style: skulls, carnivores, maps, weapons, and similar motifs. In the most popular sketches, one can note a certain scale, cumbersomeness. Men very rarely choose small tattoos. But this also happens. Among small tattoos, there are often inscriptions and memorable dates. Tattoos of large colors on the back of the hand, which are also more common in men, are isolated in a separate direction.

Tattoos for girls on the arm
Embossed drawings by girls are rarely similar to men's. For lovely ladies, various floral motifs, elements of elements, graphic animals and other elegant patterns are more attractive. Hand lettering tattoos are more popular than among men; neat fonts and inscriptions in English are used.
Miniature tattoos , especially on the fingers, have been gaining special popularity lately - they look almost as gentle and feminine as jewelry. Sleeve tattoos are less common than men, but they still occur on fragile female hands. In such cases, as a rule, various floral motifs or geometry prevail.
In any case, tattoos on the arm are the most advantageous option for many: they can be hidden or exposed if necessary. In addition, professionals recommend making the first tattoo in a conspicuous place to constantly see and enjoy the drawing, and hands are perfect for this.
