Everyone used to avoid getting wrist tattoos because they were so visible, but time shave surely changed. These days wrist tattoos are a great way to show who you are by getting a tattoo design that is both attractive and meaningful.

Yes, wrist tattoos are small, but that does not mean that they are any less meaningful than huge sleeves or big back tattoos. In fact, you can get a tiny wrist tattoo that holds more meaning to you because it is located in a place that you will always be able to see.

It should be pointed out that if you plan on getting a wrist tattoo, you should be prepared for a slightly more painful experience. The reason for this is because the skin is so close to the bone around the wrist, so the needle can cause a little bit of discomfort. As long as you know that going in, you shouldn’t have a problem getting your wrist tattoo.

Below are just some of the most popular wrist tattoo ideas and why they are so popular.

The dots

There are multiple reasons why the dots tattoo has always been and continues to be one of the most popular wrist tattoos. First off, they’re extremely simple to make, which makes them a great tattoo idea for those who don’t need a big detailed design. Secondly, it’s a very inexpensive tattoo to get, perhaps the most inexpensive tattoo in existence. And finally, there are a lot of meanings that come with the dots tattoo, including the “my story isn’t finished yet” meaning that comes with the ellipses tattoo.

The heart(s)

The heart tattoo is a classic for a reason. Some people want to show that they love life, so they’ll get a little heart tattoo on their wrist. Others like to go a bit further with the design by wrapping hearts “bracelets” around their wrists. You won’t be sitting in the chair long to get your heart tattoo, but it is definitely one of those designs that will hold its meaning for the rest of your life.
