FAQ’s
Ans. The wrist placement is one of the most painful while getting tattooed. The reason is, there is very thin skin there and limited muscle mass to cushion the vibrating tattoo needle. The sides of the wrist are even more painful to ink, as the bone structure there is dense. However, this doesn’t mean the pain will be unbearable. Not at all. The limited surface area of the wrist means the tattoo session will be short as most designs that fit there are minimalistic. So, the pain will be short-lived and worth it. The outcome is what you should look forward to.
Ans. Most artists charge by the hour. Some have higher rates due to their expertise and popularity in the industry. Nevertheless, wrist tattoos aren’t unbearably expensive because the designs at this placement are small and take little time to ink. The overall cost is further affected by factors like the type of design, technique used for tattooing, and brand of ink used. That said, typically, wrist tattoos can cost in the range of $50 to $200.
Ans. The primary significance is the high level of visibility. Also, there’s considerable versatility. You can get a bracelet design that envelops the entire circumference of the wrist. Or, you could get a small image on the side of the wrist. So, the range of techniques is vast. The meanings are usually close to the wearer’s heart. Thus, the reason for getting the design inked at the wrist is most personal to the wearer. These tattoos are typically cute, beautiful, and meaningful reminders to stay positive and do well in life.
Ans. Tattoos of the feet and hands (wrist included) are generally quicker to fade than those elsewhere on the body. The relatively high exposure to water, sun, and the general outside environment make the tattoo prone to fading faster. On the other hand, tattoos such as those on the back, chest, upper arm, and thigh stay vibrant for long as they are covered by clothing most of the time. Sunshine and water fade the ink unless you religiously apply sunscreen and other recommended aftercare products. If you’re new to tattoos, remember the rule: it takes around three weeks for the piece to heal fully. Meanwhile, follow the recommended aftercare regimen and products.
Ans.No tattoo is entirely risk-free. But that risk gets reduced if you select a renowned tattoo studio. An expert artist that uses the best, safest equipment and generally knows what they’re doing will take care of you through the process. This in itself reduces any risks of infections or improper healing multifold.
