Noticeable discomfort, prepare for some sensitivity
Expect moderate pain levels for this tattoo, especially on the forearm and calf, where the skin is less sensitive. The intricate detailing and shading may increase discomfort slightly. To manage pain, consider taking breaks and using breathing techniques. Topical anesthetics can also help reduce sensation during the session.
For this design, consider placing it on the outer forearm or calf, where the elongated shape of the eye and teardrop can flow naturally with the body's contours. The upper back is also a suitable option, providing a larger canvas for the intricate details. These placements ensure visibility while allowing the design to be covered if needed for formal settings. A minimum size of 6 inches is recommended to capture the fine details effectively.
