Choosing A Back Shoulder Tattoo

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

Back shoulder tattoos have become very popular with women. Part of the appeal of this type of tattoo is the fact that its visible when a woman wears straps or thin sleeves, but it’s easy to cover. A great way to display your ink is to wear a racer back shirt. Off shoulder clothing or spaghetti straps are other possible options. If you don’t want the tattoo to be seen for some reason, simply wear a shirt that covers it. Jobs and social events are the most common reasons for needing to cover the tattoo.Many occupations frown upon tattoos, and they would like those who work for them to have clear skin. For this reason, tattoos that are not extremely noticeable and are able to be covered up are great options.

Flowers And Animals

Flowers and animals are generally the top choices for this type of tattoo. Due to the location, any piece in this area must be small. Designs chosen for this location are appealing in looks and size. Common designs are: hearts, stars, dolphins, flowers, and butterflies. The designs are subtle and cute while still being tasteful. Popular flowers include: roses, orchids, sunflowers, and many others for those who enjoy nature. Tiny flower tattoos on the back are appealing to many people.

Symbols And Writing

Using a foreign language to write a phrase or saying on your shoulder is another possibility. Japanese characters that stand for virtues or names are common on peoples’ backs. Arabic, Spanish, and English are other oft-chosen languages. In all likelihood, the tattoo will either be the name of the wearer or someone very important in his or her life. In addition to the main design, other elements can be incorporated like words or a paragraph that has meaning. If you don’t want to display it, a back shoulder tattoo is easily covered, but you can definitely show it off when the time is right.

Tattoo Designs for Professionals

Monday, June 29th, 2009

People in every imaginable situation like tattoos. Tattoos are an outlet for a person to express their individualism and display interests and personality. Unfortunately, many careers cause a problem in regards to tattoos. Appearance is a major concern for workers in many industries. For example, a salesman can’t find work with face tattoos. You will be at a large disadvantage with employers if you have prominent, visible tattoos. As a result, consider the following ideas that will help you to express yourself without affecting your job.

Back Tattoos
A tattoo on your back will give you the ability to wear normal work attire without anyone being aware of your ink. Possible choices include: animals, tribal art, stars, hearts, swords, and basically anything else. Designs on the lower back, above the jeans line are popular with women. Guys often prefer smaller pieces on the upper corner of the back or on the shoulder blades. The design you select is completely in your control. It’s possible to go to the extent of inking your entire back, and nobody would be the wiser unless you decided to share it with them. Make it clear to the artist that the design can’t extend to your neck, as this could be visible and damage your job prospects.
Arm Tattoos
If the idea of a back tattoo does not appeal to you, consider inking your arm. Popular designs for guys include: religious symbols, astrological signs, and tribal art. You can feel confident that a shoulder tattoo is safe because any shirt you wear at work will cover it up. It might be a good idea to measure how much skin your shirts cover so you can be careful that the design does not extend past the boundary. Never cover your arms with sleeves. When your whole arm is covered in images and words, this is considered a sleeve. From an employer’s perspective, sleeves are complete turn-offs, and they won’t think twice about hiring you.As a rule of thumb, eliminate any tattoo idea that cannot be covered by a short sleeve shirt.

Is Uniqueness Importatnt?
Your imagination is the only thing limiting the tattoo designs you create and use. A large number of people rely on the catalog of the tattoo artist to pick a design.The problem with this is that you run a high risk of getting an identical tattoo to someone else. If you can’t stand the thought of having the same ink as someone else, create a unique design and bring it to the parlor. If you aren’t artistic enough to create your idea, find someone who can help you.
