And if you are going to open the doors of the tattoo parlor for the first time, we recommend you to pay attention to the tattoo on your wrist. It is easily covered by the sleeve of a jacket or shirt, but in the clear immediately catches the eye. The meaning of tattoo for each person individual, but in this article we will consider the most common types of tattoos.

Features of tattooing on the wrist and care for it
They say there is no picture without a story. Each work of art is preceded by some real basis, so the first step on the way to the cherished tattoo will be the choice of drawing. Sketches of tattoos on the wrist are presented in any institution engaged in tattooing. But it is better to find a unique illustration on the Internet, download it on a flash drive and bring it a tattoo artist.
The master will estimate the size of the future picture, print it and outline it on screen paper. The resulting silhouette of the image is cut and applied to the alcohol-disinfected wrist. Then the template is removed, and the master starts painting the picture with a special machine with needles. First, the darker elements are filled, then the lighter ones.
Since the skin in the area of the hand is thin, and the fat and muscle layers are practically absent, for most people the procedure of tattooing the wrist is quite painful. Upon completion of work the skin is covered with antiseptic healing ointment and medical plaster.
