@sad.in.jail.tattoo: if you’re thinking about an elbow/knee tattoo, here’s 5 things to know before you commit: 1️⃣ design matters more than you think skin stretches + folds here → simple, bold shapes age better than tiny details make sure it looks great when your arm is straight and bent 2️⃣ prep your skin moisturize daily for about a week (but skip lotion the morning of) healthy skin = cleaner ink = easier heal 3️⃣ sleep + food are NOT optional this “spicy “ spot wakes you up real fast good rest + breakfast = way easier session (hand poke is much gentler technique tho) 4️⃣ it may take a bit longer not like a forearm piece for example we go slower + more precise because of the movement 5️⃣ healing requires a bit more attention bendy areas rub on everything sometimes you’ll need a tiny touch-up totally normal, not your fault, not the artist’s just make sure to keep in touch with your artist and send healed photos still… elbow tattoos hit different. they feel truly earned. looks great on its own or elevates the whole sleeve to a new level of coolness if this is your kind of style → you already know where to find me ➡️ fill out my quick inquiry form in bio 🤍 🏛️ @outerlimitstattoo 📍 Long Beach, Ca #handpoke #elbowtattoo #tattooscorpion #tattoocalifornia #tattooinspo
