Tattoos are like artwork for your skin. Or in the case of wrist tattoos, a great replacement for jewelry. Who needs a bracelet that flies off your hand if you wave too hard at a friend, when you can have a beautiful drawing on you permanently? And yes, that was a stranger you mistakenly said hello to.
Plus, wrist tattoos are super versatile – you can go the minimalist route with a small symbol, or go big with something that creeps up towards your forearm. And then you might want to go home, because that extra jalapeño margarita is going to make for a tough 8AM meeting tomorrow morning.
And if you ever decide that you want to keep your ink on the DL, you can always throw on long sleeves to cover it up. We get it – it’s not that you’re trying to hide a part of yourself. Sometimes you just don’t want to explain what your tattoo means for the millionth time.
Here’s some wrist tattoo inspiration for your next visit to the salon. Just make sure you take your hair tie off first.
