Bracelet tattoos have become the new rage. One of the reason that people are opting for bracelet tattoos, is that they are less expensive as compared to tattoos on other parts of the body, as the size of these tattoos is smaller as well. But the pain after getting a bracelet tattoo made, is more. This is because the wrist is not fleshy, is very close to the bone and at the same time has less tissues to cushion the skin. As the wrist is an exposed area and also because it is used a lot, maintaining this tattoo is a tough job. It will require touch ups more regularly as compared to other tattoos. In spite of all these shortcomings, the tattoo aficionados, do not deter from getting a wrist tattoo made.
Ankle tattoos have also become a hot favorite with women. Often the trend is that women or girls get their first tattoo made on their ankles. The advantage of getting an ankle tattoo made, is that people who want to get a small design inked on themselves, prefer the location of the ankle. The other advantage of ankle tattoos is that a person can flaunt it, whenever he wants to and hide it easily as well.
Sometimes professional reasons demand that a tattoo is not displayed. At such a time, camouflaging the tattoo is not a difficult task. These tattoos are also comparatively maintenance free, as the sun does not hit the tattoo area, as is the case with the wrist tattoo.
