Design Inspiration

Wrist Placement

The inner wrist offers a personal, easily viewable canvas. The outer wrist provides a more classic tattoo placement. Both allow for designs that can be extended along the arm or kept small and self-contained.

Consider the natural flow of your wrist's curves when designing your tattoo for the most harmonious result.
