I already know for sure what im getting on my inner wrists. ive wanted them since i was about 15. They are my sisters (2) names.
which way it would face? (when flipping your arms over so your wrists face you [this is the part where most people flip their arms over :p] would the names be facing yourself? or upside down?
and how much? the names would be arielle and amber. and i have tiny wrists. i am a very small girl.
and what font would you suggest? i have a few in mind i found on some font websites but if you have examples it would be greattt. thanks!

First off, wrist tattoos barely hurt, so if anyone tells you otherwise, their either lying, or have an extremely low pain tolerance.
Next, when I got my wrist tattoo, the artist asked me to show him how I would show it off to people. Then he put the stencil on my wrist. I have a heart-shaped music note on my wrist, and if I extend my arm out with my palm facing up, it is displayed to the person standing in front of me. It's all just a matter of personal taste. Do you want it to be a personal tattoo, or a more public tattoo? If you want it to be more personal, have it facing towards yourself. If you want it to be more public, have it facing outwards.

I have tattoos on my inner wrists as well, Kanji symbols for 'firstborn son' and 'daughter'. I didn't want to get their names in actual writing just wanted a symbol that stood for them. Don't listen to people who say you will regret it. I don't and I've had tattoos for 15 years. Make sure you go to someone good though. Maybe instead of their names you can get something that stands for them, some symbol or something each of them love. It should face you, so you can read it when you hold your wrists up. the other way looks weird to me.

If you are tattooing names that mean something to you, tattoo them so that they are facing you. As to a font, you want it to be small enough that it can easily be concealed by a watch or bracelet, for professional reasons, but large enough to be read. Tattoo artists are usually pretty good with helping with these kinds of decisions, if you get the right ones. I know mine have always been fantastic. You want a font that is pretty, but again readable, or perhaps one that is special to you. Remember, whatever you decide, it will be permanent, so make sure it is one that you enjoy to look at.

I have my daughter's name on my right wrist, I have it so that when I look at it it is facing me. They tried to get me to put the other way but this was something I want to look at and I didn't want it to be upside down when I look at it. I also have very small wrist so i went with a font with skinny letters, You dont want it to look like a blob. Mine was $55.

Facing yourself. If you don't believe me consult your tattoo artist and look at their previous wrist work.
The font depends on your personal style.
Go to your tattoo artist and they can even create a font that suits your taste. That's what they get paid to do.
DOn't get something off the internet, that is so unoriginal, its gonna be on your wrists, so you decide.

It's great that you want to honor your sisters by tattooing their names onto your body, but a little advice coming from someone with 8 tattoos. ;)
Do you ever want to have a good job? Don't get tattoos anywhere that shows when you don't want it to. I love tattoos, but have a hard time understanding why people would limit their lives for one. Get them somewhere that you can enjoy them and not show them whenever you choose.
The price is going to vary. If you don't have an artist, then most likely any shop is going to rape you just like any other 'one time' customer. Probably around $100 each.

Instead of asking online, go to the tattoo parlors and inquire about their health and safety precautions. Find out if they have a good amount of HAPPY and SATISFIED customers from that very particular establishment. All tattoo parlors are different, so pick a place where you feel most comfortable, and then go from there. Ask them for references of happy customers, specifically of those who have similar tattoos (wristbands) and how happy they were with where you are going.
P.S. All establishments have different pricing, so you may want to compare those too.

you should get them facing the person opposite you....not facing yourself...thats a grear idea b/t/w.....and it'll probably hurt but it'll be worth it in the end...the price depends on the artist...i'd say maybe 90 - 120 each....make sure to tip your artist...as for the font i'd just ask the artist for a really fancy script.....

you want them to face you as you are the one who is going to look at them. if you have tiny wrists i would do a pristina font at about 20.
