Tattoos for men. Whether black or colorful, bold or elegant, let’s get down to the point and agree that we love tattoos. I am certainly attracted to well-executed ink and recognize work that is both a flattering size and on an attractive body part. Are you wondering what makes a tattoo attractive? This is a matter of artistry, symbolism, the confidence to wear the piece chosen, and the environment.<\/p>\n

Getting a tattoo is a personal decision. The images represent self-expression. There are no set rules that we need to follow when deciding on the work for us, but it is important to recognize that pieces can look out of place when they aren’t carefully considered. Whether you’re tossing around ideas for your first tattoo, or if this is your seventh, a little thought and planning can go a long way.<\/p>\n

Have you recently admired some work, to the point of calling a parlor?<\/h2>\n

Before hopping on the tattoo bandwagon, ask yourself a few questions. Which images best suit your personality? Which body part will the tattoo look best? And, why are you getting the tattoo in the first place?<\/p>\n

Sometimes, the best way to make a decision is to jump into the planning phase and consider all of the options. When it comes to tattooing, jumping in means looking at pictures and talking to artists or others with tattoos. Some people, however, need a bit more information first. This article is a one-stop-shop for all things tattoo-related, tattoo ideas for men which may help you decide on the ink that will best fit your idea and your lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Where should your tattoo go?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It’s common to decide on the “where” before settling on a design. After all, designing a particular region of the body may be the reason why some men consider tattooing themselves in the first place. We all know (or heard of) someone who has painted themselves with sleeves, bands or single pieces to show off muscle definition, especially on biceps or calves.<\/p>\n

Also, ask yourself if the tattoo placement will pose a problem later. This includes dress code restrictions at work. The neck and forearm are two common areas where tattoos may be inconvenient, depending on your profession. Less common locations including hands, knuckles and face will pose a greater issue for more people.<\/p>\n

A few popular body parts are the upper arms, shoulders, chest and calves. The ribs, back, and top of feet are also hot spots. These areas are also easy to cover up when the occasion calls for a formal appearance.<\/p>\n

While all tattoos hurt, pain tolerance is another factor when considering placement. Some tattoos will hurt more than other. Here is a list of the most painful tattoo locations<\/a> from Inked Magazine:<\/p>\n
