The arm, shoulder, and chest may be popular areas for tribal tattooing, but tribal bands are also very popular among men. These tribal bands are just like any other tribal tattoo, using linear lines or continuous lines to form an image. These bands are usually black, but as we have seen in the past decade or so, more and more color is being added to tribal tattoos.
In ancient cultures, bands were given but they usually covered the entire wrist area, from the hand to the shoulder. It wasn't uncommon for the entire body to be covered in tribal markings. Many cultures in ancient times practiced such methods. No body part would be safe, well, maybe just a few. More then likely, the more tattoos you have, the higher the rank in the community.
In present day and time, tribal arm bands are becoming more common. If you are seeking a small tattoo and you like the tribal style and design, this may be the route you want to choose. They are generally located between the shoulder and the elbow on the upper arm. They can also be placed around the wrist area. Many people choose to get them between the shoulder and the elbow on the upper arm because they can be hidden by a shirt if need be. Once again, they typically look better on someone who is built in the arm or wrist area. This is not to say that it won't look good on you. It is just a typical body trait that the community is use too seeing.
Some people may want to get a matching tribal tattoo with tribal bands. In this case, your tribal arm tattoo will match with your tribal arm band or bands. You may just want to get one or the other. Either way, tribal tattoos are a great choice and very popular. You are sure to catch attention with them.
