Upper Arm Tattoos – Anything Goes

Traditionally when we think of tattoos, we think of upper arm tattoos. It seems to be the place that comes first to our mind. Even though the popularity of tattoos has them now placed on many other areas of the body, getting an upper arm tattoo is still first and foremost on many people's minds.

Certainly one of the main things you need to consider when getting a tattoo on your upper arm is the amount of sun you will be getting on your arm. If your upper arm is in the sun frequently, you'll want to wear a sunscreen with a high enough SPF to provide you with coverage. If not, you may wish to rethink getting a tattoo on your upper arm, and may want to instead consider a place that doesn't get sun very often, as your tattoo will fade and become blurry.

Just about any tattoo imaginable can be tattooed onto your upper arm. If you're the type that likes to display your artwork and style, you might want to consider a "half-sleeve" tattoo. This is where your whole upper arm is tattooed completely, all the way around. This tattoo on your upper arm can tell any story that you want it to. Of course, this is the most popular place for that classic "Mom" design.

The tattoo that is becoming more and more popular for your upper arm is the armband tattoo. These are representative of Hawaiian or other Polynesian traditions, or they can also be tribal or Celtic in origin as well. Be careful, though, as there is a superstition that some people observe. It is sometimes thought of as bad luck to completely close the band around the arm, so a small gap is sometimes left leaving it partially open.
