Some of the pieces pictured below have a reddish tint as they are inner bicep tattoos that are still in the process of healing, but as the skin heals, the black and gray ink stand out even more against the unblemished skin.

Whether you want your tattoo design horizontally or vertically aligned, grayscale is one of the most popular choices for inner bicep tattoos. Feel free to expand your piece towards the front and outer regions of the biceps as well. Who knows, maybe this could be the start of a fresh arm sleeve!

2. Avian Inner Bicep Tattoos 

Take flight with an avian inner bicep tattoo. With the positioning of your inner bicep, it can look as though you’ve got a familiar in the crook of your arm, or give yourself wings of your own! Ask your tattoo artist to enlarge the face of an owl or incorporate a branch upon which your sparrow sits.

Your tattoo design can be as colorful or as subdued as you like; there’s an endless variety of avian imagery to choose from. Flip through illustrative works or talk to your tattoo artist about incorporating their own personal style for a truly unique design. If you only have a vague idea of the type of image you’re looking for, it’s always a great call to look through the repertoire of different artists to see which one can best bring your vision to life.

3. Realism Inner Bicep Tattoos 

Pay tribute to truthful representation with a realism style inner bicep tattoo. Realism is a tattoo style that aims for an ultra-realistic visual representation to the extent that particularly sophisticated pieces can look like a photograph. Since these pieces require more time and detail, they tend to be more expensive than your conventional inner bicep tattoo. If you find a talented artist, it’ll be worth it! If you’re thinking of a portrait piece of a loved one for an inner bicep tattoo, the realism style is definitely the way to go.
