Arm and Armband Tattoo Designs

Designs that go all the way round the arm: solid black at the heaviest, a thorned vine or the phases of the moon at the lightest.

Every tattoo image on this site is a generated illustration. None of it is work by this artist and none of it records a client result.

Worth knowing before you choose

An armband is the one design here that has to meet itself. It goes the whole way round, so there is a join, and the join is the difficulty: an arm is a cone rather than a cylinder, so a band that sits level on paper runs crooked on the body unless it is set out on the arm first. That is a normal part of the appointment, and it is why a band takes longer than its size suggests. The solid ones are worth a second thought. A wide stripe of solid black is a great deal of ink in one sitting, it is among the heavier things to sit still for, and it is the hardest kind of tattoo to cover or to remove later. None of that argues against it. It is simply the design most often chosen quickly and the one that changes the most about what you can do afterwards.

Or describe what you actually want

None of these has to be it. Say what is closest, what you would change, where it goes and roughly how big, and the drawing comes back before anything is booked.
