Hottest Tattoo Designs For Men


The best accessory a man can have is probably a tattoo. Tattoos have long been associated with masculinity and strength. When it comes to getting a tattoo, most of the work done is in choosing a design. Your tattoo will become a representation of who you are so you better find a design that you definitely resonate with.
Arm
When it comes to arm tats, the old school designs that are often linked with sailors are on a comeback. Think about nautical stars and anchors. The only difference with sailor designs then and now is that you can have these symbols look 3-D. But the classic male ruggedness is still there.
Tribal designs are also popular as arm tattoos. These ink arts look mysterious but at the same time the monotonous use of black ink make them look amazingly sleek. The best tribal designs to draw inspiration from are from the Maori and the Samoa tribes.
Chest
The chest is a perfect canvass for getting a tattoo. The reason for this is because there is more flesh to work with so the artist is free to recreate the design that you want without having to worry about not having enough space. With a chest tattoo, men are allowed to be more sensitive when it comes to the design since it is rarely seen by people (unless you're a lifeguard by profession).
Symbols like the heart or the cross are chosen for their significance. Putting a crown of thorns around the heart can depict a man who does not want to be bothered by love, or a stone heart can mean an avowed bachelor. For guys who aren't scared to let their feelings show, having the name of a wife or a girlfriend is a great way to show one's affection.
Animals are ancient symbols of strength. The scorpion is one of those animals. Ancient mythology narrates that scorpions are feared by mortals and gods alike, and that its image is supposed to bring protection.
Sleeves
Sleeve tattoos are not for the faint-hearted. Basically, the whole upper arm is the canvass for such kind of tattoo. Because of the size and visibility of the tat that you will be getting, a great deal of thought should go into the design. Japanese designs are the most popular. A dragon wrapped around one's upper arm will not only accentuate well-defined biceps and triceps but also exude strength and wisdom.
