Wrist tattoos are very popular for both men and women as there are many design choices available. There are also several placement options as well. Here are some ideas to consider before you get your wrist tattoo.
One of the most popular choices for wrists are bracelet type tattoos that encircle the entire wrist. Good design choices for this are a chain, barbed wire, celtic or tribal designs, flowers and even quotes or wording. If you don't want this type of tattoo, then you can either have your ink on the top or underside of your wrist. 
The design options for these placement areas are endless. Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Hearts
- Stars
- Zodiac Sign
- Butterfly, Dragonfly, Ladybug, Lizard, Frog, Spider, Turtle (or any other flying or crawling critter)
- Cross (or other religious symbols)
- Dolphin
- Sun or Moon
- Name or Words
- Angel
- Cherries or Cherry Blossoms
- Chinese or Japanese Symbols
- Musical Notes
- Clover
- Horseshoe
- Dove
Almost any small design will work great for a wrist tattoo. Many people have a design starting at the wrist and then going up the arm. Another idea is to have both wrists tattooed with different words or symbols that compliment each other. There is really a lot of unique ideas for these types of tattoos, but they just have to be on a small scale.
Many people also choose this location to get their tattoo because depending on the design, it can be easily hidden. You may need to hide it because of your job or other reasons and a watch or bracelet can be worn over the tattoo to cover it up.
Wrist tattoos are also a good choice for someone that is getting their first tattoo. Many times people want a small one to begin with and these are perfect for that. Use the above ideas to get you started on planning your wrist tattoo.
