Placement of Tribal Armband Tattoos

A tribal armband tattoo always goes on the arm by nature. When the design is done on the wrist it is often referred to as a bracelet or cuff design. Tribal Armband tattoos, therefore, are most often placed on the upper arm typically where your bicep muscle is the largest. Thus it extenuates the muscle in your arm. However they can also be placed on the forearm as an alternative but they are then much more visible so this needs to be considered beforehand.

Tribal armband tattoos are symbols of power that have been worn by many cultures for thousands of years. Not only do they look powerful but they are a way to connect to the animal and natural world.

Flower Tattoos

As with the real thing, flower tattoos are both beautiful and symbolic of many things. A lily alone, for example, means different things in different cultures. For some it is a symbol for purity and for others can represent erotic love.

For Asian cultures, the heavily symbolic lotus flower brings good luck, tranquility and rebirth. Whatever flower you choose to represent on your skin, whether alone or in a bouquet, can make a profound statement about what you identify with.

You even can express entire messages with flower arrangements. If you would like to promise to be faithful to your first love, this can be represented by a lilac surrounded with ivy. Those that view themselves as brave and lucky, or perhaps want to be, can link a chain of delphinium and stephanotis as an armband.
