Raise Those Arms: 110 Inner Bicep Tattoo Ideas for You

by Sherri Owens

You can get an inner bicep tattoo of flowers, animals, birds, tribal designs, landscapes, and more!

Inner bicep tattoos have always been some of my favorite to design. While it can be a challenge, I like that it gives me the license to be more creative. I also think it's great that this kind of tattoo offers some intimacy and privacy.

In this post, I will show you the top inner bicep tattoo ideas and describe the significance of various designs. Let's begin.

The Best Inner Bicep Tattoo Ideas

Here are the top inner bicep tattoo concepts to choose from:

Floral Inner Bicep Tattoos

Considering how popular flower tattoos are, it isn't surprising that they are top the list for some of the more popular inner arm tattoos.

While these inner bicep tattoo designs are mostly requested by women, they're becoming more commonplace among men - roses, in particular.

What I like about getting flowers as inner bicep tattoos is that you can get really creative with these inside bicep tattoo ideas. If you want something simple, you can choose minimalist inner bicep tattoos - those that have a basic design or just the outline.

If you want an inner bicep tattoo that's a bit more complex, there are just as many inner arm tattoo ideas to select from. You can decide to get an inner bicep tattoo that's very detailed, intricate, and realistic.

Before you choose a flower for your inner bicep tattoo, I want to remind you that each flower has its own meaning. So, if you want a more meaningful tattoo, it's a good idea to look into the significance of each type.

Bird Inner Bicep Tattoos

It isn't surprising to learn that the avian inner bicep tattoo is quite common. After all, there is something about the inner arm area that reminds you of the wings of a bird.

Once again, there are so many options with these kind of inner bicep tattoo designs. For one, each bird has its own meaning.

Owls, for instance, are known for their wisdom - however, there is something a little dark and dangerous about these birds as they are the ultimate predators.

Then you have eagles. For an American, an eagle design can be a very patriotic inner bicep tattoo idea. Apart from that, this bird is known for its intelligence, hunting capabilities, and foresight. The eagle is also associated with freedom. This is why it's one of the more popular inner bicep tattoos for men.

Smaller birds like sparrows and swallows are meant to be positive symbols. These birds symbolize community and family. As they are often seen at the start of spring, they are also associated with new beginnings.

Another thing I like about these inner arm tattoos is that you can create different vibes with the birds and the concepts that you decide on.

If you want something a little gloomy and foreboding, choose a bird of prey and pair this with a dark color scheme.

On the other hand, if you want something a bit more cheerful, you can choose small and gentle birds and pair this with a colorful inner bicep tattoo.

Animal Inner Bicep Tattoos

I love it when people want to include animals in their inner bicep tattoo designs.

If you're an animal lover or you have a pet, you can choose to get a cat or a dog (or any other pet) as an inner bicep tattoo. You can opt for a more realistic image on your inner biceps or a more artistic avenue.

Of course, your inner arm tattoo doesn't have to be limited to pets. You can choose to get any species you like - wolves and lions are pretty popular for inner bicep tattoos for men.

If you want an inner bicep tattoo with more meaning, consider getting an animal who has characteristics that you like. Each animal has its own significance as well, so you may want to get one that's meaningful to you.

Keep in mind that one of the best things about an inner bicep tattoo is that the image is largely hidden. Due to this, you can get an inner arm tattoo that is quite personal and not have to worry about explaining what it means.

Snake Inner Bicep Tattoos

I feel that snakes deserve their own category when it comes to inner bicep tattoo designs. Snakes work really well for the inner arm area, regardless of whether you want a more straight form design or a curving one.

In any case, you can get this gorgeous, elegant, and slightly dangerous inner bicep tattoo.

I love the symbolism behind snakes. They are creatures of transformation, shedding their skin and taking on a new self. This is why they are considered symbols of change and improvement.

I also like the different ways you can portray the snake. You can design flowers around it, have it wrapped around a dagger, done up in the traditional tattooing style, and plenty more!

Animal Skull Inner Bicep Tattoos

If you think animal skulls as inner arm tattoos is morbid, think again! This is actually a cool inner bicep tattoo.

For one thing, this inner bicep tattoo can be quite meaningful. Animal skulls can help you remember the circle of life - nothing lasts forever but this doesn't have to be a bad thing. Something new will often spring from what has passed.

There is no denying that animal skulls as a inner bicep tattoo is a total aesthetic. You get a rustic and classic feel with this kind of inner bicep tattoo.

Another perk is that there are many ways to depict your animal skull. If you want, you can keep it true to biology and get a realistic skull.

You can also include various other components as well. You can choose to include elements that complement the skull or those with a very different vibe like flowers.

Don't automatically assume that these are just inner bicep tattoos for men - they look just as good on women too.

Skull Inner Bicep Tattoos

If animal skulls aren't your thing, you could try human skulls. This tattoo design is one of my favorites, period. However, I think that it works especially well as inner arm tattoos.

I know that getting a skull tattoo in a visible place may not work for everyone. As an inner bicep tattoo, though, this image isn't seen as often so you don't have to feel self-conscious about getting it.

What I really like about this kind of inner bicep tattoo is just how creative you can get with it. From gothic and macabre to solemn and beautiful, there are so many ways you can pull this inner bicep tattoo off.

Once you check out these inner bicep tattoo designs, you will see just how far you can push these boundaries. If you are looking for colorful inner bicep tattoos, this concept will work well for you too!

Portrait Inner Bicep Tattoos

If you think your portrait inner bicep tattoo has to be a boring image of someone you know, think again!

There are many different ways to pull off this kind of inner bicep tattoo. There are no rules in this kind of concept either. You can get delicate inner bicep tattoos for men and bold, masculine ones for women - anything goes.

Just check out this inner bicep tattoo. Rather than a typical face, you have a portrait that's broken down into its anatomic parts. Not only is this inner bicep tattoo quite different, it can also have a meaning of its own. It could be a way of baring your soul and allowing people to see your hidden depths.

At the same time, if you feel overwhelmed, this inner bicep tattoo can be a way to show that you're falling apart at the seams. Of course, needless to say, you will need a talented tattoo artist to help you pull this kind of inner bicep tattoo off.

This is another inner bicep tattoo that really stuck with me. For one, there are a few things going on with this inner bicep tattoo. It's based off the Monopoly game which shows that life can be just as unexpected and ruthless as the game.

This inner bicep tattoo also carries a warning. It shows that even the most innocent-looking person could be wearing a mask. So, you should always be on your guard.

This is such a beautiful inner bicep tattoo depicting motherhood. It is simple and minimalistic, but contains so much emotion. It is ideal for moms or children. Once again, because it is tucked away as an inner bicep tattoo, it's a design that you can keep private.

Script Inner Bicep Tattoos

A script tattoo is an excellent option for a inner bicep tattoo. I feel like this area is just meant for a word or phrase. Nest of all, I have found that these inner arm tattoos work equally well in a horizontal and vertical design.

Another thing I like about this inner bicep tattoo is the privacy that it affords. When choosing a meaningful phrase, word, or name, you want to keep it near and dear to you. With such an intimate location, you can.

Here are the script tattoos you can get on your inner biceps:

Religious Inner Bicep Tattoos

I know that a lot of people want to keep their faith private, and this is why an inner bicep tattoo can be the perfect choice in this case.

I also enjoy how creative you can get with this kind of inner arm tattoo. It is no longer just crosses and images of Jesus - of course, these are perfectly good images to get for your inner bicep tattoo.

You can get statues, praying hands, realistic rosaries, and so much more. Also, don't forget symbols - you can use symbology instead of overt images in your inner bicep tattoo if you like.

You may think that a Creation of Adam inner bicep tattoo would fall under the category of religious, but this isn't necessarily the case. While it certainly has religious connotations, most people consider it a work of art.

This kind of inner bicep tattoo can be altered so that it takes on various different meanings. Here are some of the original and creative inner bicep tattoo designs you can borrow from:

Tribal Inner Bicep Tattoos

Before I get into the different tribal bicep tattoos for men and women, I want to touch on what tribal tattoos actually are.

Most people imagine that those dark, spiky tattoos that were popular about a decade ago are what pass as tribal tattoo designs.

In reality, though, a tribal bicep tattoo borrows artwork and patterns from indigenous cultures. In particular, Polynesian, Hawaiian, and Maori designs. So, if this is the kind of inner bicep tattoo design you want, work with a tattoo artist who knows what they're doing.

This inner bicep tattoo can remind you of the passage of time. Or, your inner bicep tattoo can be of a special time, such as the birth of your child that you would like to cherish forever.
