Placement guide
Forearm tattoos
The most popular placement in modern tattooing: visible when you want it, coverable when you don't, low on pain, and a natural vertical canvas that suits almost every style.

Pain
Low — fleshy muscle with few nerve clusters. A common first-tattoo choice.
Size & sessions
Typically 10–20cm tall; inner forearm suits scripts and fine line, outer suits bolder work.
