Hi, I’ve been wanting to get a tattoo on my bicep but I fear it will make me look “manly” or “butch.”
The tattoo I was wanting was Jin Kazama’s tattoo from the video game, Tekken.

Ive wanted this tattoo for a very long time as I’ve been a massive fan of the game since I was about 5 but i’m just worried that it could make me look a bit manly coz I dont really see many women with bicep tattoos.
I’d appreciate peoples thoughts and opinions about bicep tattoos on women. Thanks

I don’t think it looks manly on girls, I’ve seen quite a few with bicep tattoos.
I find it more sexy than manly anyway ๐Ÿ˜‰

1- Please take time to introduce yourself to us in the “INTRODUCE YOURSELF” section. It’s something that should be done prior to posting: WHY? Because it’s just something nice we do here. And, it will give us a slight chance to get to know a thing or two about you.

2- I personally think a plain piece sitting alone on the bicept WOULD INDEED make you seem very masculine.

unless you have really muscular arms like a man i dont think youve got much to worry about, might be worth thinking about adding something like a flower etc to make the design a bit more ‘girly’ x

Thanks for everyones replies. I haven’t got muscular arms lol so thats a good thing. Im just a bit worried because i’ve never been a “girly” girl and so a lot of the tattoos I like are more on the masculine side but I still dont wanna end up looking like a bloke lol. I guess im just worried about what people will think:(

Why worry what people will think of you? Do YOU like YOU? If so, and that is what you want..then go for it.

I have something on each bicep…I’m not “girly” by any means. I’m 5’9″ and a bit on the big side b/c of my Dad’s family ( I also strength train) I can just imagine what people say about me! lol and I could care less.

If that’s what you want on your bicep, then do it! People talk about people regardless. Screw what other people think! It’s your body anyway…not theirs….

OK gettin off the soapbox now……lol

If you like it and that’s what you have always wanted, then go for it. Don’t worry about others.

If you do get the tattoo and you do feel it makes you seem blokish, it’s not the end of the world. Go with Ivy’s idea and add something girly to it. Win/win.

In general I don’t see a problem with bicep tattoos on women. But with this design, I think it could make you look butch. How many chicks do you see walking around with tribal on their biceps? Not too many. There’s a good reason for that.

I have tats on both biceps, I love them both, I don’t feel masculine when I show them off, and I love showing them off. Frankly I don’t much care what other people think, I had them done because I like them. There are times when I cover them up and other times when I flaunt them LOL!..and I’m a grandmother in her 50’s!

My 2cents worth:

A single lonely tribal tattoo taken of a rather masculine character in a computer game, placed on a bicep, brings my mind to thinking of what in Iceland are called ‘trucker dikes’. Dunno what they’re called in English. Anyway, thinking of it, I picture a large woman in comfortable shoes with short cropped hair, and she can most definitely kick my ass ๐Ÿ˜€
