The forearm is one of the most versatile placements in tattooing. Flat, visible, even skin tone, and minimal flex. It holds detail well, it shows the work to anyone you meet, and it scales from a single small piece all the way up to a full forearm panel. Healing tends to be straightforward and the long-term aging is among the best of any placement.

Neo-Traditional fits this canvas because it's bold-outlined illustrated work with the longevity to stay readable for decades. The work below comes from artists on the platform who specialize in this combination.
