Wrist and Hand Tattoo

One way to make the most of a wrist tattoo is by also extending it to the hand. Choose or create a design that thoughtfully uses both spaces in a fluid movement. One example is an octopus, where the head starts at the wrist and its legs expand on top of the hand.

Inspirational Wrist Tattoo

The wrist is a high-traffic area for viewership, so you might as well make your tattoo count; an inspirational, intentional, and motivational piece of ink is perfect for this spot. It can be a word, quote, or phrase that excites you, moves you, or keeps you going.

Cool Wrist Tattoo

Since it’s such a central location, why not decorate your wrist with a truly cool tattoo? Depending on your style and aesthetic and what you define as the-bomb-dot-come, this tattoo ranges from badass masculine designs to creative and artistic pieces of art, traditional ink to a one-of-a-kind creation.

Wrist Name Tattoo

If there’s someone you truly love, the ultimate expression of dedication is to tattoo their name on your wrist. Location-wise, the wrist lays it out there for the world to see (or even yourself, if you need a reminder for how to spell their name). Design-wise, it can be anyone from a partner to a parent, child, pet, or even a city that you’ve fallen in love with.

Wrist Bracelet Tattoo

A common design for the wrist is a bracelet-inspired tattoo, that wraps around the hand or forearm. This kind of band is highly versatile and is easily personalized. Some men go for a simple solid black bracelet, while others prefer dotted lines or a louder pattern.

Flower Wrist Tattoo

Men have been tattooing flower-inspired body art for generations since they’re forever trendy, flattering, and symbolic of nature, health, and spirituality. Whether your ink starts at the wrist and extends up the arm as a sleeve or remains a single piece, you won’t regret a thorny rose or a lotus flower.
