Posting here for voting ability.

I have a tattoo, 2 lines of script above my left breast.
My next tattoo is going to be upper inner arm, and a picture made up of 2 lines, think an ECG readout etc. Because the tattoo tails off at the end, it would look better going down the left arm, however I’m not sure if that would look too unbalanced, having both on the same side?
The wave photo Inis not what I’m getting but do you see how it looks better flowing down the left arm than it would flowing up the right arm?

So
YABU - A right arm
YANBU- B left arm

TIA

Left arm definitely, then get something else on the right to balance it all out Grin because as you know, you can never have too much ink!

I have a tattoo above left breast and went for right forearm for that reason! I think I'd feel lopsided otherwise.

Left, you can always get more to balance things out later.

SandrasAnnoyingFriend · 01/12/2021 17:22

Right. Then your next placement will be left hip.
I don't know why but that makes sense to me.

scarpa · 01/12/2021 17:22

I say left for balance too!

I have a biggish one on my upper inner right arm so now my next one has to be left side or it won't feel right Grin

Waxonwaxoff0 · 01/12/2021 17:24

Left arm, I have scripture on my upper left arm and lower right arm, always looks better there!

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 01/12/2021 17:25

I say left on the info given. I also prefer asymmetry

If you wanted it on the right arm though, could you not have it going the opposite way? Excuse my ignorance, as o know nothing about tattoos

CoachBeardless · 01/12/2021 17:40

A.

And good luck op, top of the inner arm near the armpit is a killer! 😭

PollyIndia · 01/12/2021 18:05

I’d probably go same side so left.
I have big flowers and a bee in my inner left arm by Rebekah Vincent, and I have to say it wasn’t massively painful. She’s amazing though.
I am sure you’ll go right arm next - they really are addictive I have found!

Because most things flow from left to right, I think it would look strange and like it’s heading into my armpit. I think it would look better on the left but don’t want to look unbalanced.

Wherever wrinkly, decoloured and deflated will look good in 20 years time?

Cryalot2 · 01/12/2021 21:28

Left .
I have a small one on left ankle, toyed about another but not sure where.
But spent the money on having brows done. They were non existant but are not slugs.

Ah good, the thread has been assigned its designated Mumsnet Tattoo Hater.

Do you make a hobby of wandering into conversations about topics you don't like, just to make sure the people having it know the very important and relevant fact that you, personally, dislike the topic?

In 20 years time she might be through the menopause and no fucks will be given on looks or other people's opinions. Or she may be nowhere near being wrinkly.
Do you live for your looks alone? That's tragic.

RunningFromInsanity · 01/12/2021 22:48

Lol I know there would be at least one comment like that.
I tried to make the title as obvious as possible so tattoo haters could just scroll past (but of course they can’t Hmm )
