Aftercare-Friendly Designs: Heal Easier, Maintain Longer

• Moderate density: avoid huge blocks of packed shading; keep generous negative space.
• Smart placement: skip high-friction or high-UV spots (knuckles, shoe line); favor forearm/upper arm/shoulder blade/calf.
• Prompt guardrails: medium density lines, balanced negative space, clean edges to reduce blur risk.
• Color vs area: small color pieces heal easier; large color fields need more care and may fade faster.
• Scale safely: trial at 2–4 inches first; if healing and readability are good, scale up.
• Plan with your artist: needles, session splits, touch-up expectations, and realistic healing timelines.
