Baroque Ornamental Forearm Tattoo

The forearm narrows towards the wrist and bends at the joint, so I couldn't treat this pattern like a flat rectangle. Broad Baroque leaves and scrolls carry the length of the arm. A straight Geometric band gives the lower edge a clear stop before the hand, while solid black beside soft grey keeps each curve separate.

The tattoo took one four-hour session. I checked the main curves directly on the arm from several angles before I started. I looked at how the scrolls followed the forearm and how the edge could meet nearby tattoo work.
