The shoulders, back, stomach or legs usually take pride of place instead. But you don’t have to be like everyone else. If you’re the type who likes to think outside the box, the elbow could be the perfect place on which to engrave something truly spectacular.
A good elbow tattoo will have to make use of the elbow’s unique anatomy, weaving some kind of picture around the point of the elbow and perhaps moving up to parts of the forearm and upper arm. Here, any picture with a clear center of gravity suggests itself.
For example, you may decide on a flower centered around your elbow’s tip, with its petals stylishly twisting around the elbow and arm. The flower could be embellished in anyway you please, with a dazzling pastiche of colors, your name or the name of someone special to you handsomely inscribed nearby, or anything else that strikes your fancy.
Spider webs are another popular way to ink up your elbows. If you’re a comic book fan, this presents a wonderful opportunity to show off Spiderman or Spiderwoman on your arm, with some tastefully mixed red a blue around the web.
Alternatively, you can create a spider web around your elbow with a sleek spider sitting there and dripping venom from its fangs, not-so-subtly hinting to the world that you’re a femme fatale.
You can find these design ideas and many others in some of your carefully chosen and creative selections for how you can ink up and beautify your elbows.
