markeee Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 I'm planning on getting a tattoo down my left forearm from the crook of my elbow to my wrist is the space it can go basically i want 'what if it allw ere to change like i thought it would' now clearly too big for one line so maybe 'What if it all were to;' ;change like i thought it would' on the second? im just not sure i think 2 lines is better than 3? Also i was thinking only have the W in uppercase rest lower - anyone with tattoos got any ideas/suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metallimuse Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Can you give more detail on the placement? E.g. Is it a wrap around or script on the inside of the arm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metallimuse Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 How big would the letters be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markeee Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 In a single line or two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metallimuse Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 i think it would have to be two lines? the letters would have to be really small for it to fit on a single line? Maybe this size for the letters!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ampersand Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 yeah that seems a bit small. i'm wanting one the length of my inner forearm. where robbie keane has his, but letters. letters would need to be at least double that size for where you want i think. just go in to a parlour and speak with an artist. they'll be much more help than here.

G-Stud Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 I agree with Amps, go into a parlour and ask. But really, I think that there's too much there to put on your forearm, and if you get 2 lines it will look very cramped. Metallimuse is right as well, the letters need to be a good size as over time the ink can bleed. Not a good look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdoujaparov Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Just a few thoughts - please take these as constructive...I've got a lot of ink myself personally, I think that text of any kind down the inside of your forearm just looks corny and overdone, there's nothing particularly individualistic about it...and you'll be looking at it every day I'm not really sure what the phrase even means and doing it all in lower case will just make you look illiterate...is it a really important phrase to you? So important that you want to look at it every day for the rest of your life? If it has some deep personal meaning, then fine. But to me it's pretty meaningless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greeny_Musicchild Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 From experience, something on your forearm should have a lot of thought put into it. You have to see it every day. I was lucky enough to grow to like what I had done, I actually really love it now, but I hated it at first and that was a pretty shit feeling. Nothing is wrong with getting text tattooed on you, even your forearm. Although it's very visible you should still do it for yourself. If it's something you want and represents you do it.
