Noticeable discomfort, prepare for some sensitivity
Expect mild discomfort on the outer forearm due to muscle cushioning and thicker skin. Fine line work feels like a persistent scratch rather than sharp pain. Stay hydrated and eat before your session to stabilize blood sugar. Use rhythmic breathing during detailed sections. Topical numbing is generally unnecessary for these locations but discuss with your artist if anxiety is high.
For optimal flow, position this vertical design on the outer forearm or outer thigh. These areas provide sufficient canvas width for the tail adornments without distortion during movement. The outer forearm offers high visibility for personal reminders, while the thigh allows for larger scaling if more detail is desired. Avoid highly curved surfaces like the ribs unless scaling up significantly, as fine lines may blow out on tight curves. Minimum width should be 3 inches to maintain line integrity over time. Consider professional visibility; forearm is easily concealable with long sleeves, whereas thigh remains private.
