Small, so keep it simple

Wrist tattoos are usually small, so detail is the first thing to go: fine lines placed close together can blur into one as the ink settles. Pick designs with a clear outline and a little space inside.

The inner wrist is thin skin over tendons and veins. It shows designs well but moves a lot, and hands and wrists are washed and in the sun more than most places, so they tend to need touch-ups.

Fitting it in the editor

Wrist designs open in Wrap. Try the design at two or three sizes with the Size slider: something that reads at palm size can turn into a smudge at coin size. Check where a watch or bracelet would sit before you settle on the spot.
