Getting an armband tribal tattoo has been very popular in recent years. There are some killer armband tribal tats out there, but there are also some pretty weak one's. Here's how to make sure you get a good looking and visually strong armband tribal.
1. Make It Complete!
The number one mistake I see in armband ink is that some people don't have them going all the way around their arm. They have these "half armbands"! They don't make them complete! What's the point of having an armband tat, if it is not going to go all the way around your arm and connect? Some people get freaked out by a full armband and only commit to halfway, but in the end this will look a lot weaker.
2. Expand your Armband!
Leave some room, if you can, above and below your armband tat just in case you want to expand on it in the future. Armbands are excellent for adding on to or having an additional design accompany it later. You'll never know if something new may spark your interest and you'll want to expand your armband later. So save some room, if you can.
3. Research for the Right Armband!
This is common mistake #2 I see with an armband tribal tattoo. A lack of research to find a high quality design. Some guys end up with a weak design that looks something in between a tribal and a chain link! Your design should definitely have elements in it which distinguishes itself as tribal (there are some well done chain link tribal designs that do look good by the way). So go to to an online tattoo gallery and check out all the armband tribal tattoo designs to ensure you are getting the best of the best.
