Noticeable discomfort, prepare for some sensitivity
Expect moderate discomfort, primarily during solid color packing. The outer forearm and bicep are less sensitive, making this session manageable. Linework feels like a hot scratch, while shading produces a heavier sensation. Stay hydrated and eat before your appointment. Sensitivity increases near the elbow. Breathing techniques help manage prolonged shading. Topical numbing creams are generally unnecessary for these placements.
For optimal visibility and flow, place this design on the outer forearm or outer bicep. These areas provide sufficient flat surface area to maintain the motorcycle's structural integrity without distortion during muscle movement. The horizontal nature of the bike suits the forearm's length, allowing for detailed engine work. Thigh placements also work well for larger variations, offering a canvas for expanded background elements. Avoid highly contoured areas like the ribs unless scaling up significantly. Minimum width should be 4 inches to preserve line clarity and prevent blowout over time.
