Armband tattoos are widely regarded as the most popular kind of tattoo design. They are popular with both men and women. On a woman an armband tattoo can show off and draw attention to a slim slender arm, and on men there's nothing cooler than a muscular, toned arm that has an armband tattoo running round it.

They always look good on people of all ages, and look particularly impressive in the summer months when you can show off your cool armband tattoo design when your arms are on display more due to the hotter weather. In short they are the epitome of coolness and remain the classic choice of tattoo for many people, particularly first-timers.

The great thing about armband tattoos is that although you would think there are only a small number of different designs you could choose from, there are in fact many different designs you can choose from. They come in all different shapes and sizes and of course different colours if you don't want the basic black tattoo design.

You can base your armband tattoo design on a celtic, hawaii or tribal design, which are all very popular, or you could be more creative and go with a design based on a flower or a snake, for example, which also make good armband tattoos. Whichever design you choose, I'm sure you'll be delighted with the final outcoem and will be busting to show it off to all your friends.

For the very best armband tattoo designs, I recommend paying a small one-off fee for a lifetime membership to either Chopper Tattoo or Tattoo Me Now. These two online tattoo galleries both have hundreds of unique top quality armband tattoos to choose from (as well as thousands of designs in other categories), all of which are several times better than those found on the free tattoo galleries and at your local tattoo parlour.
