Tattooability notes

THE SOURCE SAYS ONE THING ABOUT THIS PLACEMENT AND IT IS ABOUT PAIN: “This area has a lot of nerve endings and can be very painful.” That matches the general asymmetry the education source states for limbs: “the outer arm has fewer nerve endings than the inner arm, making tattoos hurt worse on the inner arm”

  Tier 2

  Tattooing 101

  Professional tattoo-education page and the primary placement source for this batch. It is the only fetched source that bands EVERY body area by the size of work it holds - small, medium, large and extra-large - which is what makes the available_area and scale_behavior columns answerable at all. It also supplies the fit rule (“a forearm tattoo shouldn’t wrap so far around the arm that it overlaps”), the design-expansion warning, and two orientation rules. IMPORTANT NEGATIVE FINDING, recorded because it bears directly on what this corpus may claim: the page states “Tattoo placements don’t have any specific meaning tied to them.” That is a Tier 2 trade claim about the modern Western commercial context in which the page is written. IT DOES NOT AND CANNOT SETTLE whether placement carries meaning or restriction in any cultural tradition - two Tier 1 museum sources in this same batch record placements that do. The claim is recorded, scoped, and NOT used to suppress a cultural placement rule anywhere in the corpus.

  Tier 2

  Tattooing 101

  Professional tattoo-education page, and the only fetched source that treats placement as a SKIN problem rather than a layout problem. Supplies the batch tattooability content: skin thickness over bone (“when you’re tattooing over a bone, like a collarbone, the skin is going to be thinner than on the arm, so you won’t want to go in as deep with a tattoo needle”), loose skin at the armpit and stomach, the rib-stretch problem, blowouts on thin skin, and movement-driven fading on hands. It also states the nerve-density asymmetry: “the outer arm has fewer nerve endings than the inner arm, making tattoos hurt worse on the inner arm”. LIMIT: it is written for the beginning tattooer, so its rankings are about difficulty of execution and not about what a placement can hold.
