I want a small tattoo on my forearm but I'm not sure what style.
Great choice! Forearm tattoos work well in fine line, minimalist, or blackwork styles. For a small piece, I'd suggest keeping it under 3 inches. Would you like help narrowing down a style?
How much would something like that cost?
A small forearm piece typically ranges from $150–$300, depending on detail and artist. SKINK will show you pricing before you commit.
