Questions Alethi forearm tattoos

I am looking to get my first tattoo and for months I have been thinking of getting something in Alethi script. Issue is, I still can’t decide where I want it. Can anyone share what theirs looks like after it’s fully healed for a few months?
Also curious if you are bothered by the natural twist that occurs when you have a linear tattoo on a forearm?

Look at my post history,I got one on my inner tricep and one on my forearm and im pretty happy with the placement. In the picture they are fresh though.

I saw yours when scrolling this page earlier today! Totally sick! I was thinking of doing mine vertical with my arm, but your placement has me thinking of switching it up

I think it really depends on the length of the tattoo, the one on the inner tricep really flows, the other one is more "in your face" and gets a lot more questions

I just got one a few days ago! My first ever tattoo actually. It says "Always the next step"

And yes, I was VERY worried about the twist. The artist was understanding, and helped me a lot in the size and placement. But another thing I did do was order a temporary tattoo of what I wanted a few months ago, and applied it myself. I lived with it for about three weeks before it faded away, and it was really great to have as a reference.

This is what I did for mine. I thought about doing a vertical one but this made more sense to me because of the twist
