Tribal Arm Tattoos - Tribal Tattoo, All Styles, Designs ~ Tattoona

The forearms or lower arms are probably the most popular places to get tribal arm tattoos, especially of the long vertical style.
As this shape is ideal for this position you will find it to be the most appropriate.

This body position was, historically speaking, the most prevalent it was the place of choice for the typical old school tattoos, such as anchors, skull and crossbones and old sailing ships, beloved by sailors.

Although these old school images are still liked and used, tribal on its own or intermixed with traditional images is increasingly taking over.

Upper arm tribal tattoos tend to be a different shape to the lower arm tats.
In particular they are broader and shorter, often having a triangular shape to accommodate the shoulder down to the elbow.
