Forearm tattoos for girls. Sketches, photos, inscriptions with meaning with translation

A special type of tattoo is on the forearm. They can be completely hidden from prying eyes under clothing in the cold season, but if worn with short sleeves, they are visible to others. Girls choose different types for themselves, it depends on individual preferences and the purpose of the applied drawing.

Features of the tattoo

Tattoos are stuffed with a sterile needle, which, injuring the upper layers of the skin, introduces a coloring pigment into them. The pigment fixation under the skin ensures the durability of the permanent pattern.

Forearm tattoos need regular adjustments and updates. In addition, the part of the body located below the elbow joint, limited from below by the wrist, is quite sensitive. Application can be painful and difficult.

Superficial and deep veins, arteries and blood vessels run along the entire surface of the forearm. The dorsum is considered to be coarser in physical characteristics, and the palmar part of the forearm is more sensitive and prone to damage.

Small-sized drawings can be placed on the palmar and back side, volumetric tattoos capture both sides of the selected area. Tattoo masters conventionally classify the size of tattoos by the area of ​​the occupied surface.

Forearm tattoos for girls have some advantages:

• Convenience in application and further adjustment... The forearm area is open for work, the hand can be comfortably placed on a special stand.

  

• High visibility. Unlike tattoos on the neck or back, the pattern on the forearm is always in front of the eyes.
• Versatility of appointment. Forearm tattoos can be hidden under clothing if there is a dress code or other requirements for appearance.

Forearm tattoos for girls can be symmetrical if the same designs are applied to both hands. This looks especially impressive if a thematic drawing with small, clearly defined details is chosen for printing.

The difficulty of caring for tattoos on the forearm lies in the constant monitoring of renewal and adjustment. This area of ​​the body is exposed to detergent shampoos and gels, cleaning chemicals.

In the summer, hands are free of clothes, and the tattoo is additionally exposed to sunlight, which affects the state of the coloring pigment. Under the sun's rays, the pigment begins to fade, the tattoo fades, the contours become blurred, the general appearance takes on untidy features.

Styles and colors for tattoos

For the forearm, you can choose any pattern from the variety of proposed sketches, while taking into account the characteristics of the mobility of the pattern. Although the forearm is an area that does not tend to create noticeable movement, there is a possibility that the image will change when the arm is flexed and extended.

Forearm tattoos for girls come in color, black or white. The most common options are color or black tattoos.White lace, applied in the Hindi technique, on the forearm can be hardly noticeable, therefore it is customary to use white when applying a color pattern to highlight details or color the outline.
