Alcohol Tattoo Photo #7569

For some it's a playful symbol of nightlife or a favorite drink shared with friends. For others it's tied to a specific memory-travel, a wedding, a bar where a story happened.

Forearm tattoos benefit from a natural canvas that follows the arm's long shape. Designs can wrap around the arm or sit on the inner or outer surface, giving flexibility in how the tattoo is displayed.
