Are you considering getting a tattoo on or around your shoulder blade? This is a great place to get a tattoo and the reason is because your shoulder blades are so big that you won\’t have to worry about the size of the tattoo at first. Think about it, when you get a tattoo on another part of your body (arm, neck, leg, wrist) you have to think about the style and size before anything else.

I wanted to help you out with picking what to get as a tattoo since there are so many different ideas out there. It doesn\’t matter whether you are a woman or a man, these will work for you.

Shoulder Blade Tattoo Ideas

Cross – Have you ever wanted to get a cross tattoo? A lot of people like this because a simple cross is not what they want and with the space you can do just about anything with it. Getting a cross tattoo is great and especially if you do it on your shoulder blades.

Tribal – Are you a fan or tribal tattoos? Getting a tribal tattoo on your back is great and I know you will like it. Not all tribal tattoos are supposed to be on your arm and that is what makes these designs so unique when placed in a different spot. Getting a tribal tattoo on a slightly rounded surface is what makes these tattoos really stand out and that is why I highly recommend you place them somewhere other than an arm or a leg.

Picture – Are you thinking about getting a picture on your body? Getting a picture tattooed on your body is great but getting it on your shoulder blade is probably the best place to get it done. The problem with people who get pictures on their arms or legs is that at some point that picture will start to droop or squeeze together and when this happens that picture will just look like a big ink spot.

Scripts – If you want to write a quote, name or maybe just a saying, then doing it on your shoulder blade is a good idea. Something that I want to make sure you understand is that writing tattoos are some of the best common tattoos around.

There are a lot of different things that you can do on your shoulders so just make sure you do what you want. My advice when getting any tattoo would be to take your time and figure out if that is really what you want, no matter what your initial idea is, there is always a way to improve on it.
