Wrist tattoos are all the rage right now. There's just something appealing with having ink on your palm or at the back of your hand. However, getting a tattoo requires a lot of thought and imagination. You want your tattoo to be a representation of your personality and individuality. Your tattoo becomes a part of who you are. Remember, you won't be able to get rid of your tat as easily as your clothes or your accessories. This is why you should find a tattoo that will be relevant to you not just for the time being but for the years to come.Star
The star is a symbol that plenty of us can connect to. Stars are one of the oldest symbols used in mythology. The five pointed star is often chosen by feminists as it symbolizes the sacred feminine. To some people, the symbol refers to a higher being or a supernatural power. Some people choose to have different variations of the star because it symbolizes their religious or ethnic background. For instance, the Star of David will always be regarded highly among those with Jewish faith or Israeli descent. The nautical star, although considered old school, is still a favorite among males.
Heart
The heart is the most popular symbol there is for our emotions. Whether it is in honor of a loved-one or a certain passion that you have, having a heart tattooed on your wrist is a wonderful way to show anyone how you feel. If you have just recovered from a bad break up, a dripping heart or a patched up broken heart can send the message that you once loved and lost. A tat of a heart with wings can mean a free spirit or a person who just goes with the flow.Cross
The cross is another symbol that has long been used in mythology and religion. To some, the cross symbolizes one's adherence to religion and loyalty to a supreme being. To others, a cross can represent a burden or hardship that one has hurdled through.
Quote
Lindsay Lohan is probably the most popular actress with a quote tattooed on her wrist. You can choose to have any small quote permanently inked on your wrist. It can be a phrase that guides your everyday decisions like "seize the day" or its Latin equivalent "carpe diem". The only rule is that it shouldn't be too long. Variations of quotes are names. You can have your spouse's name on your left wrist and your kid's name on the other. ( By Peter Brat )
