Noticeable discomfort, prepare for some sensitivity
Expect moderate discomfort primarily due to session length rather than extreme nerve density. The outer forearm and thigh feature thicker skin, buffering needle impact. However, intricate facial details require slow, precise needlework which increases sensitivity over time. Use breathing techniques during shading phases. Topical numbing creams are effective for the first hour. Take breaks if fatigue sets in, as steady skin ensures better healing and line quality.
For optimal flow, place this vertical composition on the outer forearm or outer thigh. These areas provide sufficient canvas height to accommodate the three figures without crowding. The outer forearm offers high visibility, while the thigh allows for larger scale detailing. Avoid bony areas like the ribs if you prefer less discomfort during detailed shading work. Ensure the design spans at least six inches in height to maintain clarity in facial features. Symmetrical placement on both arms works well for balanced aesthetics. The curvature of the calf also suits this vertical layout, though muscle flex may distort details slightly over time.
