One tattooed arm on woman - message, or style?

Tanya968

I have seen at least two women lately with tattoos covering one shoulder top to the mid- lower arm. The ink is colorful, looks nice if you like that style.
We were wondering tho, is this type tattoo (top of one shoulder & all over upper arm, tapering off at lower arm) a fashion statement, a style that some people like, or is there another message they are giving?
Thanks for answers so far...just to clarify: I'm not saying this is a fashion trend, or needs to be a message - only that I haven't seen this type tatt on women b4. We are in warm climate, where sleevelss is common. The 2 women are diff ages (20's and ? late 30-ish), with no connection or similarity. The look is striking, that's for sure. As I said, just curious.

Answer
I love half and 3/4 sleeves for women, especially with lots of colour in it.
I would love to get one myself, but I don't because of professional reasons.

People get tattoos because they like them. There shouldn't always be a meaning behind the tattoo. I have 8 tattoos at this moment and only 5 of them have a meaning.

How does a tattoo on a woman's arm look "butch"...?

ToolGirl5-

I never got that,i have seen many arm tattoos on a women and never thought it looked manly..And why are places like the wrist,ankle,hip and the foot consider "feminine" spots...What's your opinion?


Btw i have 40 hours of work so far and have a full sleeve,planing on the other arm too...
But some people do think this,and i'm asking why..

Answer
I guess probably due to the size of a tattoo. Some females just have larger arms and larger pieces on them will make them look even larger. I find it really silly when I hear females talk about how large tattoos look manly. Every piece I have on my body is big and I still look feminine.

tattoo does it???????

I am a female... and i would love to get a tattoo on my hand like a small butterfly...

Does it hurt???? how do u feel when its done....???

Answer
First of all you need to decide what you want doing and whereabouts on your hand you would like it. Make sure that you think about the design for quite some time before you decide to get it done. Also bear in mind that the hand is a very visible place and, unfortunately, people do judge others based on visible tattoo's (it can even prevent you from getting a job, although they will not tell you that this is the reason why!).
All tattoo's hurt, anyone who says otherwise is a liar or just trying to make themselves look 'big'. The pain variation is different for everyone and it can hurt more depending on where you get it on your body. I have not had one done on my hand but have a full back piece, a half sleeve in progress and one at the top of my leg - all of which have been painful but never excutiating. The sensation is like a cat scratch to start off with and then after a while it feels like sunburn. It becomes more of an annoyance than anything else after so long because you get bored of just sitting there but, as long as it is done correctly by an experienced professional, then the end result is more than worth it. If you are just after a small butterfly on your hand, depending on the size, it shouldn't take too long. When it is done you just need to follow your tattoo artist's instruction on aftercare to ensure that you do not damage your tattoo.
Make sure that you do plenty of research on different artists, get recommendations and whoever has recommended you ask to see work that they have received from that artist so that you can see for yourself. Do not go for the cheap artists, good tattoo materials are not cheap therefore good quality tattoo's should not be cheap. Also make sure you go to someone with a waiting list rather than just a walk-in studio. This is normally a good indication that they have some credibility. Don't be afraid to ask any tattoo artist about their experience, how long they have been doing it, to look at their portfolio, where they received their training (most artists have been trained by other artists, there is no such thing as a tattoo course in college or uni). Any artist worth their salt will be more than happy to provide this information in order to put your mind at rest. Also ensure that you see them open up needles from sterile packaging when you get it done in order to ensure that they are not re-using needles.

Tattoo artist put EVIL CROSS INSTEAD OF GOOD ONE on my hand help!!!!!!?

Knhvbhh

Hello guys... I'm a 18 year old female and just recently got a 3rd tattoo at the shop. I told the artist to put a small cross on the side of my hand ...when it was all done it looked like he messed up....but maybe it meant something else .the bottom part of the cross is skinnier and longer and the top is wider with uneven sides , left is longer than right side and slightly slanded IS IT EVIL WHAT DOES IT MEAN PLEASE HELP!:/!!!!! I can't find or anywhere in google

Answer
What do you man by "evil" cross? There's no "evil" symbol that looks so similar to the Christian cross, the closest thing to a cross that actual Satanists use is the alchemical symbol for sulphur.

Hand tattoos are terrible to heal so it's likely that some of the lines have partially dropped out or blown out under the skin. This can easily happen before healing is even complete. If this is the case, you can go back and ask for a touch up. Most shops offer the first touch up for free, though some don't do free touch ups on hand tattoos because they're so hit and miss.

It's also possible that the artist did a bad job. If this is the case, I personally wouldn't go back to them. Find a different artist whose portfolio you're happy with and have them fix it for you. Please bear in mind that there's often very little that can be done for hand tattoos, and I would advise against a cover up (cover ups need to be bigger and darker than the original tattoo). Alternatively, you could get laser removal.


You will not be able to sue the artist or the shop if you signed a waiver (which you most likely did).
