Chest Tattoos
Chest tattoos are hugely popular among men owing to the fact that they are considered extremely masculine. Chest tattoos are often fairly large and bold, drawing attention to the pectoral muscle. For this reason, they are a particularly popular choice for bodybuilders and men with muscular physiques.
The chest provides a large canvas for a tattoo artist, and many people take advantage of this by getting big designs inked. Chest tattoos often cover just one half of the chest, and are sometimes incorporated in to a huge design that extends up to the shoulder and down the arm, forming a sleeve design. Tribal tattoo designs inked in black make particularly impressive looking large tattoos. Also, unlike most tattoo designs, tribal chest tattoos are relatively easy to extend without prior planning, giving you more options in the future. Another popular chest tattoo design is a set of angel wings inked across the chest, often incorporating some sort of slogan. Other hugely popular large chest tattoo designs include celtic, heart, cross and eagle designs.

While many men opt for large, bold designs, there is nothing stopping you from getting a smaller design should you wish. Small designs can look a big swamped on the chest however, so consider you options carefully. Written words make for good looking chest tattoos at the smaller end of the size spectrum. This could take the form of having the name of a loved one, or a favourite inspirational phrase, inked across your chest. Another option is to do the above, but have it written in an Asian script.
A big advantage of getting a chest tattoo inked on your body is the ease with which it can be hidden away. This is an important consideration for many people, as a large number of employers enforce strict no tattoo dress codes. Away from the workplace you can show off your tattoo by taking your shirt off. This is only really appropriate at the beach or in the park during the summer months, or while working out at the gym.
As the chest is a very muscular area of the body, the pain associated with getting a chest tattoo will be relatively mild. This is balanced out by the large size of many chest tattoos, meaning that the pain will have to be endured for a longer period of time. Large tattoos also tend to cost more than smaller sized tattoos, although the complexity of the design and the colours used also play a part in determining cost. I recommend not thinking about the cost too much, it is far more important to get a tattoo that you really like, and will still enjoy later on in life.
