小臂上的圖騰刺青蓋圖

A tribal tattoo on the forearm has to be absorbed into a longer piece

A tribal band on the forearm is read every day, and the points usually run along the arm. A tribal tattoo cover up here has to be longer than those points. Blackwork or Japanese waves can take the black band into a vertical design. A flower that stops at the edge of the band leaves the points showing.

Photograph the forearm from elbow to wrist, including every point. The inner forearm is thinner skin, so the darkest fill belongs on the outer arm when the old ink sits there.
