Noticeable discomfort, prepare for some sensitivity
Forearm tattooing ranges from moderate to high discomfort depending on proximity to bone and nerves. Outer areas feel like scratching, while inner regions near the wrist intensify sensation. Portrait shading requires slower needle work, increasing session time. Stay hydrated and use controlled breathing during dense shading phases. Numbing cream is effective for the inner arm if needed.
Full forearm placements offer ample canvas for detailed portraits and symbol clusters. Outer forearm provides the flattest surface for the Pharaoh's facial features, ensuring longevity and clarity. Inner forearm offers higher visibility for personal significance but experiences slightly more sensitivity. Ensure the design spans from wrist to elbow crease for proper proportion. Minimum width should exceed 15 centimeters to prevent hieroglyphic blurring over time.
