This is a conversation that occurs at least once a week between the artists and our customers, particularly for forearm and wrist tattoos.
There are many points to take into consideration and there are a wealth of opinions online regarding placement and perspective. The artists will always inform you if the orientation of the tattoo is upside down from their perspective. We often hear “But it’s for me”, and that’s absolutely fine, however we will discuss the implications of getting a tattoo from the ‘upside down’ perspective before starting the procedure.
It is your body and your choice, however as professionals the artists and the studio have a duty of care to inform you of the broader implications from getting a tattoo that may be considered to be upside down. In the end we will always respect your decision.
