In my opinion, shoulder tattoos ask for just the right amount of attention. Shoulder tattoos undeniably catch eyes, but since they’re placed off to the side, they’re also always subtle and never too in-the-face. From minimalist line and dotwork to detailed graphics, shoulder tats are the ultimate accessory for anyone’s style. This also makes shoulder tattoos great introductions for people to ease their way into the tattooing world. Although veterans of ink will warn that shoulder tattoos can be rather painful, as the needle will be reverberating on a mostly boney area, it is totally worth the discomfort. It’s a classic spot for those who have an affinity for ink! So now that we can all agree that there are literally endless possibilities when it comes to shoulder tattoos, we have to acknowledge that it can be a little overwhelming to choose the right design and placement. We only have two shoulders to adorn with ink, so we have to choose wisely.
