A Greek key has cultural significance. It can be used to symbolize the unity of an entire culture with the key holding it together. Additionally, it makes a nice uniform design on your wrist. While this can be in color, black and gray really makes it shine.

Word tattoos are a great way to express yourself. What you mean is written in ink for all the world to see. The wrist makes a great place for words that make a statement, like this decorative Momma's Girl tattoo. She's telling the whole world how important her mother is to her.

Numbers on the wrist can hold epic meaning. It could signify a date of birth or your prison number. It could also be a date that is important to you. If you need a daily reminder, the wrist is a great place to work in a number tattoo.

Outline designs, like this lizard, are great on the wrist. While the space is small and doesn't leave much room for detail, an outline design can be a great way to liven up your ink. And it can remind you of your favorite little reptile.

Wrist tattoos don't have to be permanent. You can try out a design that you really like in henna. Maybe it will become permanent some day. Plus, henna designs are just fun.

A wrist tattoo doesn't have to be a static design. Allowing your tattoo to take on an organic nature and follow the natural curves of your body through a weaving wristband can take your tat to the next level. The wrist also makes a great place for flowing, curvy designs like vines and flowers.

Wrist tattoos can be as bold as your personality by using thick line work and bold geometric shapes that wrap around your wrist like a thick leather bracelet. Who knows? Maybe it is the starting point for some really righteous flames.

To really make your wrist tattoo pop, add vibrant colors and bold choices. These flowers seem to dance off the wrist of this woman catching any on lookers eyes.
