 You need to bear one thing in mind when tattooing on this part of the body, quick have a look at your wrist before i explain this next bit, grab hold of your wrist with your index finger and your thumb. Notice how you can immediately feel the bones of your wrist? You can feel the veins too, cant you? 

Well this part of the body can be quite painful when having the tattoo placed on the wrist, the inside part especially, the wrist has a lot of nerve endings which are quite easy to hit, even with the shortest part of a needle.


Though the inside does give one a little more privacy when showing it off to the world

     The positives and negatives about tattooing on the wrist. The plus side is that it’s the "in" thing now, that being said many people will continue to have one, even if the fashion part dies down, i must admit, i think wrist tattoos look really great when done well, on the other side I’m not a big fan of pain.

  So the down side for me at least is the pain threshold, I’m really not too fond of pain, the reason these tattoos tend to be more painful is that there is little fat and usually when tattooing other parts of the body, the muscle area provides cushioning, not the wrist, no the wrist provides almost no cushioning what so ever, hence the reason for the more painful effect.  

                                                                                                  Another factor is that it usually takes longer to tattoo on the wrist for the reasons mentioned above so this adds to it, but for those that have their heart set on having a wrist tattoo here, this might be nothing to the excitement of having the tattoo on this part of the body. 

              The benefits of the pain threshold, is that though wrist tattoos are popular, they will never be as popular as some of the other areas like the legs, lower back, shoulder blade or neck, so though it might be more painful, there will always be less people that actually have wrist tattoos than any other part. But this also depends on which celebrity has a design in the next coming months and years. 

 You might have to have the wrist tattoo touched up more than other tattoos due to exposure, due to the actual area and what i mentioned above, so saying this, if you are still up for it and have read this far, i have some good news for you. 

             Its pretty easy to cover a wrist tattoo, simply buy a good watch (that is if you don’t have one) with a thick enough straps, though this might look a little funny eight hours a day at work, but you still get to keep your job and that all important tattoo you so desperately want. For ladies you have another alternative, you could also wear a nice bracelet which could go hand in hand with what you have to wear to work.


                                                       If this makes the whole tattoo thing a little too complicated, no sweat, keep the tattoo just change the part of the body where you want to get this tattoo placed on, the only thing you will have to then consider is the pain and threshold of this new part of the body you have chosen, though if the wrist is still the best place for you, then good luck and let us know what your experience was getting your wrist tattoo
