Armband Tattoos
Armband tattoos have become a very popular option for both men and women over the past century. Black tribal tattoo designs dominate the armband tattoo market, although there are other options available. Tribal armbands have been used throughout history to denote status in many cultures, such as the Polynesian societies throughout the Pacific region.
Armband tattoos are sited on the upper arm, wrapping right around the bicep in a continuous band. The upper arm is an excellent place to get inked, as it is a relatively large, fleshy, muscular area. This means that the tattooing process with be less painful than it would be on a bony area. Another big advantage of getting an armband tattoo is that it is very easy to hide it away when required. A shirt with short or long sleeves will keep your tattoo completely covered up. This makes life easy if your employer has a strict no tattoos policy. Away from the workplace a vest top or bathing suit will allow you to really show off your tattoo.
Armband tattoos can be both masculine, drawing attention to the bicep muscle, as well as very delicate, intricate, and feminine. Tribal armband designs look fantastic, and are massively popular with both men and women. While different colours can be incorporated into these tribal tattoo designs, they are generally black only. Other more macho designs for men include barbed wire, snake, celtic, and writing designs that wrap around the bicep. For girls, other popular armband tattoo designs incorporate celtic, floral, star, butterfly, and writing designs. Some people even come up with fantastic looking armband tattoos that incorporate a number of different designs into one, flowing seamlessly around the arm.

The cost of getting an armband tattoo will vary depending on the complexity of the design, as well as the width of the band being inked, and the colours used. Wider, more intricate designs that incorporate multiple colours will be more expensive than a thin, simple, black only band.
