A member asked:
I need help finding pictures/diagrams of where the veins are located on arm before i get tatoo?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anatomy books: Any anatomy book will provide pictures of the superficial veins, but they vary and yours may not be the same. Place a rubber tourniquet high in your arm, hang your arm down, and squeeze your fist several times, and the superficial veins of concern will become obvious.
