The Reality Check.

The calf is a durability powerhouse.
It is low friction (unless you wear tall boots).
It doesn’t twist like the forearm.
It doesn’t fold like the stomach.
Longevity: Excellent.
Expect the full 7-10 days for Standard, and easily 2 weeks for Semi-Permanent.
It is the perfect spot for bold ink.

Styles: Vertical & Sleeves

The leg is long. Use that length.

The Vertical Design
Daggers. Totem poles. Long script.
A vertical design elongates the leg.
It draws the eye up and down.
It looks powerful.

The Lower Leg Sleeve
Why stop at one?
Wrap the design around.
A fake calf sleeve mimics the look of a full sock.
Sporty vibes.
Great for the gym or the footy field.

Sticker vs. Semi-Permanent (Calf Edition)

Standard Ink (The Event Choice)
Pros: Bright colors. Instant application.
Cons: Can be shaved off (see below).
Best for: A specific match day or party.

Semi-Permanent (The Summer Choice)
Pros: Sinks in. Sweat-proof. Water-proof.
Cons: Takes 12-16 hours to develop.
Best for: Shorts weather holidays.
You can swim all day and it won’t budge.

Placement Strategy: The Shin vs. The Muscle

The Calf Muscle (Back)
Classic spot.
Huge surface area.
Great for portraits or round designs.
Low pain (for real tattoos), low friction (for fake ones).

The Shin (Front)
Edgy.
Great for geometric lines or bones.
Because the skin is tight over the bone, the tattoo sits very flat.
It looks sharp.

Application: The Shaving Rule

Leg hair. We all have it.
If you stick a tattoo over leg hair, it looks bad. It peels.
The Protocol:

1. Shave the area. Even if you have fine hair.
2. Wait a few hours (so pores aren’t angry).
3. Apply the tattoo.
4. Crucial: Do not dry shave over the tattoo later.
   • If you shave over Standard Ink, you will slice the tattoo off.
   • If you shave over Semi-Perm, you exfoliate the skin layer and it fades instantly.
   • Shave around it.
