20 Most Popular Small Cross Tattoos

9. Small cross tattoo on forearm

If the small cross is your first ink, I recommend tattooing it on your forearm. The reason is simple, forearm tattoos do not appreciably deform over time and with body changes. Secondly, there is no obvious pain when inking the area, and some people don’t even feel the slightest discomfort. 

A small cross tattoo on the forearm is a popular and stylish choice for those looking for a visible yet discreet tattoo. The placement on the forearm allows the tattoo to be easily seen, but can also be covered up if needed. 

The forearm area is large, and you can further add other patterns or elements to make your cross even better. For example, flowers can make it prettier, while quotes can enhance symbolism. Also, men are best suited to inking their forearms, and doing so will make them more masculine.
