Frequently asked questions

Which designs from this collection work best on the forearm?

Most designs in this collection are specifically suited for the forearm. Elongated designs like the large snake and the large plant follow the natural shape of the forearm nicely. Smaller designs like the unalome or the butterfly work well on the wrist or the center of the forearm.

What does the unalome tattoo design mean?

The unalome is a Buddhist symbol representing the path to enlightenment. The spiral at the base symbolizes the beginning of life, the twists and turns represent the challenges you encounter along the way, and the straight line rising upward symbolizes the attainment of inner peace. It's a popular choice for the forearm because the elongated design suits that placement well.

Can I wear the matching sun and moon tattoo together with someone else?

Yes, the matching sun and moon tattoo consists of two separate designs that you can wear together with a friend or partner. Each of you chooses one of the two and wears it in the same spot, such as the forearm. Together they form a whole that's only complete when you're standing side by side.

How long does a forearm tattoo from Tatt4aweek last?

On average, the tattoos last 10 to 15 days on the forearm. The lifespan depends on how often you wash the area, whether you use lotion, and how much the skin moves. On the forearm, the tattoo may fade slightly faster than on a less active area, since you use and wash your arms frequently.

Can I combine multiple designs on the forearm?

Absolutely. Many people combine, for example, a birthflower with a symbolic design like the unalome or the universe. Pay attention to sizes and placement so the designs complement each other. If you're going for a fuller look, you might also consider adding a temporary tattoo sleeve to complete it.
