The placement of an water-themed piece is crucial for capturing the fluid movement of the ocean. Our expert artists at Fine Line Tattoo Bali provide professional advice on which areas of the body will best showcase your marine life tattoo and ensure the design “swims” naturally with your anatomy.
Forearm & Inner Arm: A smooth, flat surface that acts as the perfect canvas for a detailed whale shark or manta ray tattoo in Bali. This area allows for maximum visibility and captures the clarity of every fine line and dotwork detail.
Ankle & Wrist: Ideal for very small, delicate sea-inspired pieces like a single sea shell, a tiny turtle, or a minimalist otter silhouette. These placements offer a subtle and elegant aesthetic, perfect for a meaningful Bali souvenir.
Ribs & Sternum: A popular choice for personal, flowing designs like an octopus or a shark. These placements follow the natural contours of your body, mimicking the organic, dynamic movement of creatures in the deep sea.
Shoulder & Blade: Provides a stable canvas for slightly larger marine life pieces, such as a detailed koi fish or an intricate coral reef scene. This area offers the space needed for more complex botanical and aquatic arrangements.
For the best results, we use a second skin. It is included in the price. Please refer to our Tattoo Aftercare Guide for detailed info on healing your new aquatic creature tattoo with the protective film.
