Arms

Outer Arm: An ultimate canvas for the OG "mum" tattoo, the outer part of your arm is a great beginner spot. Because it's a combination of muscle and flesh, the feeling skews more irritating than anything else. There's also a considerable amount of surface area, making it perfect for larger pieces or even just the start of a sleeve.

Inner Arm: Even though the skin on the inside of your arm is softer than the outside, tattoos here are still pretty manageable in terms of discomfort. This is also an area that remains fairly undisturbed on a day-to-day basis, which means artwork typically shows minimal signs of wear over time.

Wrist: The inner wrist is a top choice for those looking to get something delicate or small. Pain can vary significantly, but in general, the skin on this spot is particularly delicate and soft. It may feel more uncomfortable than, say, an outer arm tattoo, but is bearable overall.
