Where is the best placement for a Whale And Moon tattoo?
Placement depends on the design size and orientation. Vertical designs suit the spine, forearm, or calf. Symmetrical designs suit the chest, back, or thigh. Smaller designs work on the wrist, ankle, or behind the ear. Each design below includes a specific pain map and placement guide with anatomical detail.
How long does a Whale And Moon tattoo last?
Fine line designs soften gradually over 5 to 10 years as delicate details blend into smooth gradients. Bold blackwork holds its structure for 15 to 20 years with proper care. Apply SPF 50 daily to tattooed skin exposed to sunlight — UV exposure is the primary cause of tattoo fading regardless of style or ink quality.
Is a Whale And Moon tattoo a good first tattoo?
It depends on the specific design and placement. Simpler versions in low-pain placements like the upper arm or thigh make excellent first tattoos. More complex designs with fine detail work better once you understand how your skin heals. Each design below shows the minimum recommended size and technique complexity so you can judge what suits your experience level.
How much does a Whale And Moon tattoo cost?
Cost depends on size, complexity, and your artist's hourly rate. Simple designs under 10cm typically run $100 to $300. Larger, more detailed pieces range from $300 to $800 or more. Fine line work often costs more per hour than bold traditional styles because it requires greater technical precision and takes longer per square centimetre of coverage.
