ARMLESS FUN

People are now getting tattoos on their ARMPITS… so would you try this bonkers new ink trend?

Insects, hyper-realistic florals and cheeky quotes are some of the most startling designs

ARMPIT tattoos are the bonkers new craze among body art enthusiasts.

The inkings have gained popularity on with fans sharing photographs of their eye-catching designs.

Insects, hyper-realistic florals and cheeky quotes are some of the most startling emblems.

Underarm designs are ideal for people who want a super discrete yet strikingly bold option.

“People can get tattoos pretty much anywhere. Yes, anywhere. And one of the strangest, yet most intriguing places to get tattooed seems to be the armpit,” commented.

“The cool thing about the armpit is that you can do some really creative and fun things with it all because of the location.”

However, it’s a pretty painful place to go under the needle.

The tattoo publication added: “The not so cool thing about it is that it hurts more than you can imagine."

 

The blog warned “you will directly smell blood” as you are having the tatt done as “it’s pretty close to your nose”, and that the “ink could block your sweat stream”.

A woman who had a design inked on her pit described the process as “torture”.

She told the website: “My armpit skin was raw in nothing but pain. Seconds after seconds, it got worse. Then it ended.”

But this isn’t the first unusual body part to be adorned in ink.

Photographs of tongue tattoos flooded Instagram in January, with designs including a dice, a cockroach and an anchor.

Other tatt fans have removed their socks and showcased the bizarre designs they’ve had tattooed onto their feet.

From retro cartoon characters to shriek-inducing spiders and colourful cars, these doodles are for the bold only.
