So I want to get my first tattoos. I want one to be on my forearm (soft side) and I want one to be on the other forearm (soft side) but my sisters bf who has sleeves was saying it would be "cooler" if I had one tat on the soft side of one forearm, and one tat on the rough side of the other forearm. Should I just say fuck him and do it how I want it? Or would having tats only on the soft side be lame?
Depends what they are. It's your choice since they're going to be on your body forever, if you like one on each side go for it. What are you thinking about getting.
they have a deeper meaning that id rather not get into, but I'm getting a compass rose on one forearm and two arrows on the other. Not directional arrows, but the ones you shoot haha
if you're not sure where to place them then just wait and keep thinking about it, if theyre small maybe near the wrist, inside for both, if big then id got like wrap around bit of both soft and rough as you put it, also think about forearms for your first tattoo and make sure, my first was on my forearm and now its a sleeve but it is kinda full commitment so dont go being too hasty ya knowy? but if you like it fuck it
STICK WITH YOUR GUT. First off it'll look better like symmetrical and second I guarantee you will regret not going with what you originally wanted. Especially because they hold such a deep meaning.
stick with one behind the ear, its covert and sneaky. Although I have no tattoos, I always found that spot to be cool for one!
