There's Art in Each Performance

When people hear the word "art" they tend to picture items that are created physically. Paintings and sculptures are undeniably art. But art does not, in fact, have to be a physical object. Art can also be a performance. In fact, there is an entire field of art known as performing arts. In this type of art, people use their actions, voice, and expressions to evoke feelings in the audience. Sometimes, they also bring in outside objects to use. For instance, a violinist would do their artistic performance using a violin. If you're interested in learning more about various performing arts, read some of the articles on this website.

Three Ways To Cover An Armband Tattoo

15 December 2022
 Categories: , Blog

There are lots of reasons to think about getting a tattoo covered up, including being displeased with the look of your ink for one of more reasons. In some cases, you'll have a tattoo that might have been trendy in the past, but that now appears dated. A classic example is an armband tattoo that wraps around your upper arm. Many people got these tattoos in the past, with designs such as barbed wire being popular. If you have this type of ink and you're a little embarrassed about its dated look, there are several different cover-up options to think about.

Half Sleeve

If you want to cover your armband tattoo and you like the idea of getting a lot more ink, one option is a half sleeve. Sleeve tattoos cover the majority of your skin. While a full sleeve extends from the top of your arm to your wrist, a half sleeve can cover either the upper half or the lower half of the arm. A half sleeve on your arm's upper half is a good way to cover up a dated armband tattoo. The large size of this piece gives you all sorts of options for how it can look, so it can be fun to discuss some ideas with your local tattoo artist.

Shoulder Piece

Another option that you might wish to consider is a shoulder piece. This idea can work well if your armband tattoo is situated across the upper part of your biceps. Shoulder pieces can vary considerably in size, but they often cover the top and point of the shoulder and then extend downward a short distance to the biceps area. Many people who wear tank top shirts enjoy shoulder pieces, as this garment allows the majority of the ink to be visible.

Biceps Piece

While a lot of armband tattoos wrap entirely around the biceps, this isn't always the case. Some people have this type of tattoo only on the outer half of their arm — often because getting tattooed on the inner half is more tender. If this is the case for you, any design that covers part of your biceps should be enough to hide the armband tattoo. Something large and oval in shape, for example, can completely remove any signs that an armband tattoo was once located in this area. Contact a tattoo shop that specializes in cover-up work to discuss these and other ideas for your armband tattoo.
