It's like a tiny secret
It seems as if overnight, Instagram has been inundated with more than 7,000 armpit tattoo hashtags — and people cannot get a grasp on what’s going on.
A lot of people have jumped straight to the conclusion they’re just the newest “stupid” obsession to come in and out of style, but we think a lot of them are actually super cute.
In a world where people are constantly judged by appearances, they’re like little badges of resistance you can keep hush-hush about, because, unless you’re standing on a subway and holding the railing above you, nobody would ever even suspect you have one.
It’s like a secret only you, your significant other and all of your morning commute buddies know about.
Flowers seem to be a recurring trend
And some are just reminders that your body is your own
But whatever you choose, it’s bound to look cute
Just be warned: Underarm tattoos are some of the most painful ones. Areas with less fat hurt the most to have tattooed, which is why you’ll have artists warn you about getting a rib or spine tattoo as your first one.
Fleshier areas hurt the least, so if you’re looking to try out a secret tattoo somewhere, perhaps try your butt or your inner thighs first, and then decide if you’re brave enough for an armpit one.
Happy waxing.
