Closed Book Tattoo Design

Q: Where is the best placement for a Closed Book Tattoo Design tattoo?

The best placements for a Closed Book Tattoo Design tattoo are: FOREARM (Vertical orientation matches the natural line of the arm), INNER BICEP (Flat surface accommodates the rectangular perspective), CALF (Provides ample flat space for the upright design), WRIST (Small scale makes it ideal for a compact, subtle placement), ANKLE (Simple linework translates well to a discrete lower leg placement).
