THE PLANNING STUDIO
Plan a forearm tattoo that fits your movement
Compare inner and outer forearm placement, orientation and size with a photo preview before your artist consultation.
Start with two relaxed photos
Photograph your forearm with the palm facing up, then facing down. Keep the camera roughly square to the skin and include your wrist and elbow. A flat photo can help compare composition, but cannot show how the design wraps around your arm.
Compare the direction
Try the design facing you and facing outward. Turn the artwork rather than rotating your body photo so the comparison uses the same reference. Leave room around wrist and elbow creases and ask your artist how the layout will move.
Take a measured reference
Measure the available space with a flexible tape in centimeters. A photo has no reliable physical scale by itself. Bring your measurement and two saved previews to your appointment; your artist will check the stencil on skin.
See the idea on your own photo
Move, resize and rotate your artwork. Save a placement preview to discuss with your artist.
