Arm Tattoo Designs For Men
This page focuses on arm tattoo designs for men. If you are looking for arm tattoo ideas for girls please visit our Arm Tattoo Designs For Girls page.
Arm tattoo designs have always been incredibly popular amongst men. The most popular area of the arm to get inked is the upper arm. Upper arm tattoos are incredibly macho, drawing attention to the bicep muscle. By far the most popular of upper arm tattoo designs is the tribal style. Tribal designs range from simple, single colour designs, to incredibly detailed, multi coloured artwork. Upper arm tattoo designs often wrap all the way around the arm to form an armband. Another popular variation is the extension of the tattoo design from the upper arm down to the elbow, or even right the way down to the wrist. These are known as sleeve tattoo designs. Another option for people wanting a larger design is to extend the design up and over the shoulder. These larger designs give you a lot of freedom to create a really fantastic, unique tattoo design.

Getting a tattoo on your upper arm will tend to hurt less than other areas of your body, as the upper arm is relatively fleshy and muscular. That said, upper arm tattoos are often relatively large, so the tattoo design will take longer to ink, meaning more pain to endure. Also, the larger and more detailed the design that you choose, the more it will cost. Personally, I find the larger, more intricate tattoos that flow down the arm some of the most visually stunning of all tattoos.
Arm tattoo designs can be easily covered up with a long sleeve shirt, making them ideal for men who work for employers with a strict no tattoo policy. Away from the workplace vest tops and short sleeve shirts will reveal your new arm tattoo in all its glory.
I mentioned above how incredibly popular tribal tattoo designs are with men looking to get an arm tattoo. Other popular arm tattoo design styles for men include celtic, cross, dragon, heart, scorpion, eagle, and tiger designs. I recommend that you check out the various design styles in the Tattoo Designs area of this website. I also highly recommend that you browse through the thousands of premium designs in the Chopper Tattoo and Tattoo Me Now flash galleries. These sites do charge a small subscription fee, but they will save you hours of searching through low quality, generic, designs available all over the internet. Most of these free designs not only look comparatively poor, but they are also really common nowadays. As you will be living with your tattoo for the rest of your life, I highly recommend spending a few dollars to get a premium quality design that you will look at in 20 years time and still love. If you want a custom design, I recommend that you print out your favourite flash designs, and take them to your tattoo artist so that they can get a feel for the sort of designs that you like before sketching some ideas for you.
