Wrist sprig

Inner wrist · Ana Villar

A fine botanical sprig tattooed on the inner wrist, photographed the day it was done.
The day it was done
The same wrist eighteen months later, the line noticeably softer and greyer.
Healed — 18 months later

What changed

The clearest example on this page of why we talk people out of the inner wrist. The line has widened by roughly a third and gone a shade grey. It still reads — but it reads as an eighteen-month-old tattoo, not a new one.
