MAN WITH SOME MUSCULAR HANDS – A man who is having their body built even slightly more than common men then they can do a tattoo of some pattern like thing, i.e. lines, circles and such patterns which are according to me the best tattoo for showing off their widespread shoulders to other people. Even tattoos like pattern thing are the best to attract anyone as they are so intense and saturated that even we ourselves can’t get rid of it.
*SKINNY MEN – Aman who is not that body built and are just thin and fit then they can have small half sleeved tattoos around their shoulder region which would look the best to them. Tattoos like the small anchor or some small cross would look the best and even suit their personality. Well, there are always some exceptions to everything.
Average average looking man would look the BEST if they have their shoulder covered with some kind of religious tattoos like the face of Buddha, or even some Hindu symbol of OM that of Lord Shiva or some sort of Jesus cross tattoos with the description of some surrounding environment which will allow viewer to have some more feel about it.
*FIT WOMEN – Women who are having some fit body and in some very good figure then the tattoo of some angel or some Barbie or anything which kind of represent symbol of peace or some kind of fairies would add abruptly to their looks, to their physical beauty in the manner one can’t imagine and some light shade of dark colors like ORANGE, RED, BLUE, etc.
*AVERAGE LOOKING WOMEN – Women who are having some average looks would look very charming and loving if they get their shoulders covered with a tattoo which is depicting the nature, i.e. setting sun, rising sun, mountains, and rivers, some village type of stuff would look cooler than anything else. This would make their look totally different means people would see them with totally different vision even though them being average looking.
Tattoos were used by many people as one of the very creative ways of expressing their thoughts, their ideology, and their feelings. Children can do any type of tattoos as they are small and totally new to it. They should be allowed to do a tattoo of any kind, and it would add to their confidence level effectively. And no matter of any tattoo they would fit with any kind of tattoo.
