Apart from that you can find a few other sources to get inspired. Tattoos on the inner and outer wrist, hand, forearm, and circular tattoos, tribal wrist tattoos, actually all types of tattoos that are placed on this part of the body.

• They are very visible so you can show them off very well. You can distinguish yourself and make the impression with a particular design you intend to make.
• You can always hide your tatt with a bracelet or watch.
• You can easily enjoy your tattoo yourself by looking at it. This is why mantra's or life motto's are great designs for wrist tattoos. They are a great source of inspiration.
  
• If you want a small tattoo the wrist is an ideal area. Most other body parts require larger tattoos.
• Because they are smaller they usually are cheaper.

• Maybe you'll have to deal with a little more pain. The wrist tissue isn't very dense and the skin is close to the bone on the inside of the arm. So theoretically getting a tattoo at this area will be more painful. In fact many people say the pain was the same or even less so it's just personal.
• You'll have to bear in mind that in some situations you need to hide your tattoo, for example with job applications.
• The wrist area is liable to influences so they might fade away sooner. This means touch ups might be necessary after a period of time.
• The healing of a wrist tattoo will probably take a little longer because this area of the body is used and exposed a lot.

• Feel free to choose. Every era has its own tattoo trends. As you get older your tatts age with you and remind you of certain times and experiences. The old tattoos from the past are the fashion of today. See how many skulls, hearts and other retro tattoos are inked nowadays. So everything is possible. It's just up to you. As long as you take your time to decide and take a design that really suits you.



• Keep it close to yourself. Your tattoo has to be special and probably means something specific to you. Many times a tattoo symbolizes something that is important to you like trivial events, special occasions, family, friends, pets, or other subjects of remembrance.
  
  

• Do research. Wrist tatts are perfectly suitable for special meanings due to their position on the body. For example a mantra is very suitable to be inked at your wrist. They are in your own sight almost all the time. So they remind you constantly. That's why taking your time and doing thorough research for your personal wrist tattoo design is maybe even important with these kinds of tattoos.



• Ask for opinions. Of course a tattoo is very personal but sometimes it can help to get some feedback. It might open your eyes in some cases. You can join tattoo forums and suck up info or ask your particular question immediately.



• Take your time. Especially with tattoos on wrist it is important to contemplate about your decision before acting. Survey has found that 17% regrets getting a tattoo. And for wrist tattoos this is 25%. So when more people seem to regret a tattoo on their wrist making a well thought out decision is essential.
  So only decide when you are completely sure about a particular design. Better wait a few months to be sure than regret a hasty decision.



• Make use of your tattoo artist's skills
  If you stumble upon a design you like but it isn't especially made for tattooing you can take it with you to your tattoo artist and ask him or her if they can redraw it in order to come out perfect as a real tattoo pattern.



• Be creative You can also combine multiple designs together and add something of your own. This makes your tattoo even more personalized and unique to you. You can use a copier to adjust the size of your tattoo.

More bold tattoos
One of the main trends concerning tattoos in general is the fact that people take more time to decide which design they will eventually choose. As a result these tatts are more bold than they were in earlier days.

Inner wrist tattoos
At the moment wrist tattoos are a very hot trend. Especially the inner wrist tattoo. Many celebrities like Pink, Orlando Bloom or Jessica Alba have a wrist tattoo. The more celebs are spotted wearing their inked wrists, the more the popularity of those tattoos is rising.

I think these meaningful mantra wrist tattoos are very cool. The design might be arguable but that's just a matter of taste. The story behind those tatts is amusing. I quote:

I like this outstanding design I found on Flickr very much. The tattoo is meaningful and has an original design. It is an inspiring tattoo imho.
The owner of this cute wrist tattoo says this about it:

Below Jessica Alba with her wrist tattoo that resembles the Sanskrit symbol for lotus flower. Jessica's wrist tattoo symbolizes the Sanskrit word "Padma". (Lotus flower). This is the symbol of spiritual development in Hinduism.

The Lotus flower has its roots in the mud of ponds and lakes but it raises its beautiful flower above the surface of the water. That's why the Padma or Lotus flower represents the manifestation of mental purity, beauty and (spiritual) development. Check the close-up for a better view on this cool wrist tattoo.

Although white tattoos can look very cool there are a few things to consider before getting a white ink wrist tattoo.

• White ink tattoos seem not to show up well on dark skin. Because white ink isn't opaque but more translucent it will only lighten the skin and not bleach it white.


• Sometimes white tattoos after a period of time will look more like scars than tattoos. The link below will show some pictures of white ink tattoos that look like scars


• If you want to get a white tattoo make sure your tattoo artist is experienced and has worked with white ink before


• Some people are allergic to white ink so getting a test spot first might be a good idea

• 
  Impulsive actions. Never get a tattoo on impulse. These are the tattoos that will have the biggest chance of you going to regret them. Especially with wrist tattoos which remind you even more than for example a tattoo on your back.



• Cheap tattoos. In the Miami Ink TV show Kat Von D already said it:"Good tattoos aren't cheap and cheap tattoos aren't good. Far too many times, people choose an artist based on price. That should be the last priority on your list when it comes to getting a tattoo."



• 
  Lover name tattoos. Most tattoos outlast relationships. That's a fact. So statistically you'll have a big chance of at one moment wanting to remove your tattoo.



• Wrist tattoos you can't easily hide. Maybe at the moment at your job they don't mind about tattoos but maybe in the future with another job or if your own mindset about the constant visibility of tattoos has changed. So always be sure to have the option of hiding your tattoos. Especially with wrist tattoos.
