Wrists are narrow and move a lot, so simple shapes hold up best. A band can wrap all the way around, while a symbol on the inside stays private when your palm faces down.
Watches and bracelets rub on this skin and may hide part of the design. Roman numeral dates are popular here, and our free Roman numeral tattoo generator converts any date for you.

Questions
Do wrist tattoos hurt?
The inner wrist has thin skin near bone and tendons, so many people find it more sensitive than the forearm. Small designs usually take little time.
Will a wrist tattoo show at work?
Often yes, unless you wear long sleeves or a watch over it. Move the design a little up the forearm if you prefer more cover.
