Frequently asked
How painful is the inner wrist?
7/10. Thin skin over tendons, plus nerve clusters serving the hand.
Will tendons in the wrist be a problem?
Skilled artists work around them — but the area is more sensitive to needle vibration than thicker spots.
How fast does a wrist tattoo fade?
Medium fade rate — faster than arm or leg. Plan for a touch-up around year 5–7.
