The front of the bicep is rounded, so a compact design with a clear middle works best. Round subjects such as compasses, clocks and animal heads sit well on the muscle.
The inner bicep has softer skin and is private. Short script, dates and small line work suit it, but many people find it more sensitive than the outer arm.

Questions
Do bicep tattoos hurt?
Many people find the outer bicep among the easier spots. The inner bicep and the area near the armpit can be sharper.
Will a bicep tattoo stretch?
Skin changes with muscle and weight, but moderate change usually does not ruin a design. Strong lines and simple shapes are the most forgiving.
