Word tattoos are the ultimate twist on the silicone "awareness" bracelet that became popular in the late 1990s. (Think of the 'Livestong' bracelets people wore for cancer awareness.) You can raise awareness for whatever cause or express any belief you've got on your wrist - you can literally wear your heart on your sleeve, if you like.
Words are fabulous wrist tattoos. Something short and sweet like "dream" or "breathe" written in cursive are popular choices for many women, and you can get as daring and suggestive as you want with the word. Maybe a phrase from your favorite novel or song, or the initials of a special person in your life, would look great on your wrist.
One advantage to wrist tattoos is that you've got two wrists - so why not use them? You could put two related words like "love" and "hate" on each wrist, or you could have a single phrase run from one wrist onto the other. For example, you could ink "What you see" on the right wrist and "is what you get" on the left. Holding your wrists out together makes a powerful statement. Whatever you want to say in life, it's possible to say it with wrist tattoos.
Sanskrit is undoubtedly beautiful to look at, and it seems to add a deeper spirituality to any tattoo design you incorporate it into. However, there is always a risk to getting a tat in a language that is not your own. If you choose a particular word or phrase to use, be sure to cross check it with more than one translation source to make sure it carries the meaning you want it to. It is possible for an individual website or artist to make a mistake.
