Choosing a tattoo as a man is about more than just looks. It’s about identity. Think about your values—strength, loyalty, family, ambition—and choose a style and placement that reflects that.
Kobe had his wife's name, “Vanessa,” tattooed on his arm, surrounded by angel wings and a crown. The design symbolizes eternal love, loyalty, and devotion to family—core values that Kobe stood for both on and off the court. His tattoos were personal, meaningful, and deeply tied to his legacy.

You don’t need to be famous to wear meaningful tattoos. Whether bold like Kobe, expressive like Travis, or personal like Chris—your ink should speak for your story.
Tribal, blackwork, realism, and biomechanical styles are often chosen for their bold, sharp lines and powerful imagery. However, masculinity can be expressed in minimalist ways too—like a compass, mountain, or wolf tattoo.
Popular placements include the forearm, bicep, chest, back, and hand. Forearms are a safe first choice—visible but easy to cover, and ideal for many styles.
Avoid overly trendy designs, neck/face tattoos, or very detailed pieces in small areas. Start with clean lines, good symbolism, and professional guidance.
Studies and surveys show many people associate tattoos with confidence, individuality, and strength—especially when the design has personal meaning.
Black ink is timeless, more masculine, and lasts longer. Color can be expressive, but fades faster—especially on arms and hands.
