Watercolor effect designs
Tattoo designs that resemble watercolor paints are extremely popular. It remains to be seen whether this is subconsciously related to childhood memories or simply due to the romantic and - in a nice sense - imperfect look. The combination of different colors that flow evenly into each other like water is without a doubt a real eye-catcher.
It doesn't matter whether flowers, animals or abstract motifs are chosen for the design. The effect remains the same and is breathtaking! By the way, the upper arm tattoo does not necessarily only have to be on the upper arm. Depending on the motif, it can also look very attractive if it extends over the elbow and partially to the forearm.
Tattoo on the upper arm – motifs in a tribal look
If you're thinking about Maori tattoos right now, you're wrong. More and more tattoo artists are painting drawings of Indian tribal leaders and trying to reflect the soul of the indigenous people of North America with their tattoo motifs. An effective transition between individual motifs that symbolize the spiritual state is not uncommon.
However, that doesn't mean that Maori tattoos and classic tribals aren't also very popular. The many symbols that make up a Polynesian and other tribal tattoo not only make it visually very interesting, but also make it possible to depict many different encrypted messages.

Whether in black and white or colorful, natural or abstract – you will receive an impressive tattoo on the upper arm with a strong character.

There are also wonderful male variants that can adorn the body in the form of a tattoo on the upper arm. The motif above, for example, combines romantic rose petals with a skull. To a certain extent there is also a contrast in mood.
Not only are the types of flowers very diverse, but also the style with which they can be depicted. Whether you choose an oriental one like above or an abstract, romantic, natural, black or colorful one doesn't matter in the end effect, because the only important thing is that it suits your taste.
Have the flowers tattooed in the inner area, at shoulder height or on the outer area of the upper arm. Choose a small motif or why not an arm sleeve in which the entire upper arm is decorated.
DieMotifs with flowersare enjoying increasing popularity for the first time in five years. Women have their shoulders and upper arms decorated with roses, lilies and dahlias. The lady in the photo above had three rose petals tattooed on her - two of them represent her parents, the third - her husband. You decide exactly what flowers or other motifs should symbolize.
