Five Ideas For Armband Tattoo Designs

May 5th, 2010 by admin

Armband tattoo designs are not a new idea as some may think.  Hundreds of years ago prisoners wore tattoo armbands to indicate the severity of their crime while Polynesian islanders were wearing them as a symbol of rank or status.  Today of course, they are not looked at as a symbol of such things in the past but they are created simply as a piece of art.  If you are considering getting an armband but you aren’t quite sure what a good option is, below are five ideas to help get you started.  Be sure to ask your tattooist ahead of time if they link their bands or not since some do not.1.Tribal Tattoo Designs – The organic look of tribal tattoo designs erupted with popularity sometime in the 1990s.  These perfectly structured black lines are an ideal choice for any skin tone.2.Dragon Tattoo Designs – Here is an option that you do not see everyday on an armband tattoo despite the fact that they are perfect for them.  Dragon tattoo designs are the perfect choice to wrap around your bicep.3.Butterfly Tattoo Designs – Armbands do not have to have traditional lines to them, nor do they have to be created strictly from black ink.  A strand of butterflies or a band full of flowers with one butterfly is beautiful, especially if you are looking to wear an armband full of color.  Butterfly tattoo designs are a perfect choice for a female armband.4.Barbwire Tattoo Designs – These were the most popular choice for armbands for a long time, even more popular than tribal tattoo designs believe it or not.  Barbwire tattoo designs are perfect for a male or female armband since they can be created from thin or thick lines.5.Rosary Tattoo Designs – This is a very rare but striking choice for an armband tattoo, especially for women.  These may even be less common than butterfly tattoo designs but a rosary wrapped around the wearer’s arm is spiritual yet dark and mysterious.
