Shoulder Man and Woman Tattoos



Like shoulder tattoos are also quite popular. This particular style generally encompasses the whole upper back, and may include angel and bird, or demon and dragon wings. Because shoulder pieces tend to be unisex, it is not uncommon to see styles that are considered either distinctly feminine, or distinctly masculine. Feminine works commonly include sprays of flowers, or vines that wrap around the shoulder blade; small angels, butterflies or cats lounging atop the shoulder – perhaps with a wing or tail wrapping around the back of the neck; or trails of stars or hearts that spread out onto an upper arm. The more masculine varieties generally take on darker or more sexual themes, like skulls capped over the scapula; pin up models dangling their feet over the curve of the shoulder; or dragons spewing fire across the upper back. Other styles are gender neutral, and may display religious themes, such as crosses or pentagrams; they may include nautical stars, or star sign symbols; or they may simply be made up of intricate patterns.
Because shoulder tattoos are so easily hidden, they make for a great choice for those who want to get a little creative with their pieces, while still working and living in a more conservative atmosphere.
