Tattoos on the Arm: Get Inspired in the Blink of an Eye

21 November 2024

The arm is undoubtedly the most requested area of the body by women and men who wish to get a tattoo. The arm offers an ideal playground, whether for large tattoos or for the Fine Line.

Why are arm tattoos so popular?

The arm is versatile: you can tattoo the forearm, the inner side of the biceps or the upper arm, near the shoulder. But in all cases, you can cover it with a garment and hide it if you need to (for example, if your professional environment forces you to do so).

But it is also an ideal part of the body to show off your design, especially in summer. In addition, a tattoo on the arm will be visible to you, unlike a tattoo on the back, which will be more difficult to admire.

In addition, the arm is less sensitive than other parts of the body: if you want a large tattoo, it is an area to consider.

Forearm Tattoos (very popular among men)

The forearm is often considered a masculine area and a symbol of strength. Wild animals such as wolves and bears are often tattooed on the forearm, as are owls, a symbol of mental strength and wisdom.

The forearm is also popular for tribal or mythological tattoos.

Arrow and compass tattoos often evoke personal transformation and the path of life.

Inspirational words and phrases are also popular. The forearm is versatile and our clients ask us for all kinds of tattoos: vintage, realistic style, esoteric, pin-up, Japanese (nippon)....

Our Pinterest album Tattoos on the arm

Full arm tattoos

When the tattoo covers the arm from the wrist to the shoulder, it is known as a fist tattoo. This type of tattoo attracts the bravest and those who wish to turn their body into a real work of art.

Our clients are usually looking for realistic artists capable of drawing complex tattoos with a powerful play of contrasts and shading. The goal is usually twofold: to achieve an impressive aesthetic effect and to tell a personal story. The tattoo artist and his client play with symbolism.

Animal tattoos on the arm

The animal world is always in fashion, whether as a tribute to a pet or as a representation of a totem animal. Among the most popular are lions, tigers, wolves, bears, birds (led by eagles, crows and owls) and snakes...

Fine Line tattoos of inspirational phrases

This type of tattoo is part of the Fine Line : small, minimalist and monochrome tattoos. Also known as mini tattoos. These phrases can come from the Bible or from a personal statement (a creed, a slogan...).

If you lack inspiration, start by choosing a theme: love, self-love, self-confidence, the impermanence of life, mental strength, belief in God or in a guardian angel...

Although getting a tattoo is relatively easy and painless, it requires the client to think carefully before tattooing a phrase. The words must be powerful, inspirational and still be relevant years from now. The tattoo artist can help you choose a font to match the message.

Check out our Fine Line album for inspiration.

Tribal and mythological tattoos

Ancient civilizations are always a great source of inspiration: Greek and Roman civilizations, American Indians, Polynesian culture, Celtic and Egyptian mythology?

Gods can be represented (for example, the goddess of love Venus or the god of the dead Anubis) and/or disappeared cities or archaeological remains. These tattoos testify to the breadth of vision of the wearer.

Pop culture inspired tattoos

If you are a big fan of a modern fictional character, there may be an idea to explore in this direction. Examples: superheroes like Spiderman or saga characters like Harry Potter or Gollum from Lord of the Rings. Or it could be a lesser-known character that has a strong and special meaning to you.
