1. Full Sleeve Armor Tattoos 

Few tattoo designs lend themselves to a sleeve design quite like an armor tattoo. Armor is literally designed as a sleeve, so adapting it into a tattoo allows you to follow the natural flow of something designed to fit a human arm. The style and application can take on 3D aspects, full color design, or some realistic black and gray shading to give it that dynamism that flows with the shape of muscle and bone structure of your arm. 

2. Colorful Armor Tattoos 

If you’re a fan of the unique and unexpected, colorful armor tattoo takes a quirky approach to what can too often be a very static, mundane design. As most armor is typically monotone metal or leather, there often isn’t a lot of color choices available. But in tattooing you’re only limited by imagination (and budget).

Bold color choice can make an armor tattoo explode, adding accent and depth otherwise unattainable in a real piece if armor. The whole piece doesn’t need to be emblazoned with garish neon to be effective, even a small splash of color against a stark black backdrop can make this application stand out memorably.  

3. Savage Armor Tattoos 

Armor is part of a warrior’s attire so if you wish to amp up that sense of savage power, these brutal design techniques can take armor ink to the next level. Details like torn flesh, or seemingly metal surface texture that’s been made to look worn, dented and scratched during the heat of battle makes these applications of technique stand out. Too succeed using these style choices requires creative design, out of the box technical skill, and painstaking attention to detail in getting the tattoo done carefully.

4. Massive Armor Tattoos 

A real suit of armor is just what the name says, a suit. An entire body covering of clanking metal or rustling, rubbing chain. Getting a whole body armor tattoo is definitely not feasible, however the bigger you can go with a cross section of realistic armor the more impressive it will look.
