You can put stickers on skateboard, just like you can put stickers on cars, bikes and busses. That being said, it’s important to make sure that your skateboard sticker artwork is going to look good and not peel off after a few rides down the street. Most people think that putting stickers on their skateboards is only for kids or beginners who don’t know any better. In reality though, there are lots of ways you can make your board stand out from all of the others at the park or down at the local skate shop.
Where to put stickers on skateboard?
Here are some of the best places to put stickers on a skateboard:
Tail
The tail is the end of your skateboard. It’s not a very exciting part, but it’s important because that’s where you put all of your stickers and logos. The length of a skateboard tail can differ between decks, but most are between 7 – 10 inches long.
Nose
You can put stickers on the nose of your skateboard. The nose is the front part of your deck, and it’s usually painted or covered in grip tape (like a lot of other parts).
You can put stickers on top of your nose. Because of how curved it is, it might be difficult to place them correctly if you don’t know what you’re doing. But if that doesn’t stop you, go ahead and try!
You can put stickers underneath your nose! This will make sure they stay hidden from view while skating but are still easy enough to see when looking down at yourself from above.
And finally, if none of those ideas sound appealing to you then fear not for we have another option: putting them along each side edge near where it meets up with its truck mounts!
Kicktail
The kicktail is the curved portion of a skateboard where the board’s tail and nose meet. Kicktails are used for grinding, but they can also be used for tricks like kickflips and heelflips.
The kicktail is one of the most popular features on a skateboard. It’s where you’ll find the majority of your board’s pop and maneuverability.
Truck bolts & corners
The general rule is this: stickers should be placed where they will stand out. There are no hard and fast rules, but generally speaking, the sticker will be more noticeable if it’s on a prominent location.
Now that we’ve got that out of the way, here are some popular sticker placement options:
- Truck bolts (where trucks meet deck) – if you’re going to put something on your truck bolts, make sure it’s large enough to read from afar (and make sure it doesn’t interfere with your wheel alignment).
- Edges of board – stickers at the sides or corners of your board can look cool when they’re big enough to see well from afar.
- Corners of skateboard deck – another good place for large stickers; these are often seen as part of a graphic design/theme for decks which have been customized by their owners or companies like Panda Skateboards.
Risers
Risers are the part of the skateboard that is raised above the deck. They’re often used to help with tricks, and they can be made of wood, plastic, or metal. The riser on a skateboard is measured in millimeters (mm).
There are many different kinds of risers, but they all serve the same purpose: to keep your feet locked in place while performing tricks. As a general rule, the higher the riser is on your skateboard deck, the easier it will be to perform tricks. The higher the riser is, the more stable your skateboard will be when you’re riding it down a hill or performing other stunts.
Stickers are a great way to personalize your skateboard, express yourself, and give it some personality. You can choose from a range of different stickers for different purposes, depending on what you want to say or look like.
Stickers have many other uses! They can be used for other things besides skateboards such as laptops, cars, computers, clothing and even book covers – the possibilities are endless!
Conclusion
There are hundreds of places to put a sticker on your skateboard. What’s great about stickers is that you can mix and match them with your favorite colors or designs. You can even use them as a way to personalize your board!
