Everything you have to take into account when getting a tattoo on your wrist
Be it the first time or the twelfth (to put a number), there are several previous steps to take into account before getting a tattoo on the wrist. This place is one of the favorites since it is easily accessible, we can hide it if we want and the place is not painful. But there are things that you may not have known and it is worth keeping in mind.
How to choose the size of the tattoo on the wrist
Although the vast majority opt for small, almost microscopic sizes, tattoo artists recommend slightly larger designs. “Over time the tattoo line expands and dilutes, that is why we recommend designs a little larger than what the client wants” he explains. Fer Crossbow from the Moe Tattoo studio. “Sometimes they ask for such small tattoos that we know that in a few months they will turn into a black mark, so some tattoo artist might even refuse (or recommend not to do it)”.
Therefore, the choice of design influences the size: if what we want is a design with a lot of detail and many closed curves (a number, a heart, etc.), the micro or mini size is the least remembered by experts.
How to choose the place of a tattoo on the wrist
Although the wrist may seem like a generic place, the truth is that we can place the tattoo in different places on it. Whether on the sides or the center, Fer Ballesta recommends not tattooing it too close to the hand. “The ideal thing is to close your hand inwards (or outwards, depending on where we want it) to see the folds of the skin and avoid them when placing the design. In this way, the tattoo will not suffer deformations on a day-to-day basis”.
How to choose the tattooist
We recommend avoiding, in a sudden outburst of passion or exaltation of friendship, entering the first tattoo studio that we have nearby and doing the first thing that comes to mind. So that we do not regret our tattoo on the wrist, it is best to look for the tattoo artist via recommendations from friends or the internet and learn about his work. “Today Instagram has become our best portfolio and we can attract a lot of customers after showing our work on our personal page” he adds Fer Crossbow.
