Manageable pain, suitable for most people
Expect moderate pain levels for this tattoo, especially on the outer forearm or upper arm. The detailed shading and linework may cause discomfort, but breaks and deep breathing can help manage it. The forearm is generally less painful than areas with thinner skin or more nerve endings.
For this Egyptian-themed tattoo, the outer forearm or upper arm is ideal, allowing the design to flow naturally with the arm's contours. The visibility on the forearm makes it a great choice for showcasing the detailed elements, while the upper arm offers a more discreet option if needed. A size of at least 6-8 inches is recommended to capture the intricate details of the pharaoh's portrait and the orchids.
