Armpit Tattoos

Armpit tattoos – they don’t sound sexy, do they? But to many women in 2018, they’re the latest tattoo trend, looking unexpectedly beautiful. And certainly better than hairy armpits,  a worrying trend. Thanks for that Lourdes and Madonna.

We’ve seen countless types of tattoos, in all manor of body regions. From the black arm sleeve, to the horny devil on the shoulder, to the misspelt and grammatically incorrect 5am job after a drunken night in Magaluf, many of which will cause huge regret one day, if not now.

We thought we’d seen it all, but armpit tattoos are new to us.

From super cute strawberries and toad stools, to hyper realistic floral and insect designs, check out the best armpit tattoos to provide inspiration for your next inking.

Got a sleeve but run out of space? Extend it into your armpit, for the ink that keeps on giving.

Armpits can be a super sensitive area to ink, but the pain might be totally worth it if you end up with a hyper realistic tattoo that’s a lifetime piece of art.

Is it just me or is the idea of a secret flower tattoo under your armpit kind of fun?

My concern is the hair growing through, so perhaps laser hair removal should be the first thought. Otherwise “growth” would surely interfere with such a pretty picture?
