Breathe deeply during sessions and request 5-minute breaks every 20 minutes. Topical numbing cream is recommended for sensitive skin. Most placements complete within 45 minutes, minimizing prolonged discomfort while preserving intricate details.
The outer forearm (25-35 pain) offers optimal visibility and low discomfort, allowing the design to flow with arm movement while maintaining legibility at 2x2 inch minimum size.
