Guide 01

Start with placement, not only subject

The same subject needs different line weight, spacing and composition on forearm, shoulder, ribs or back.

  • Match the main line to the body direction.
  • Keep text on flatter zones.
  • Use larger scale for portraits and detail.

Guide 02

Respect joints, curves and viewing distance

High-bend zones can distort faces, names and dates. Check the design from normal viewing distance before committing.

  • Avoid tiny details under 3 inches.
  • Use bold contrast on outer arm and calf.
  • Preview at real size before booking.

Points de choix

Que comparer avant de choisir

Forearm vs. ribs

Forearm is easier to preview and read. Ribs feel private but move more with breathing.

Small symbol vs. detailed piece

Small tattoos need simple shapes. Detailed work needs more surface area.

Questions frequentes

What is the best first tattoo placement?

Forearm, upper arm, shoulder, calf and ankle are common because they are easier to preview and size.

Where should text go?

Text usually works better on flatter areas with less bending.

Should I test placement first?
