Placement guide
Ankle
The ankle is the classic small snake’s home: a bracelet wrap or a small curl just above the bone. Delicate, easy to hide, and endlessly charming.
A small, bony bracelet surface — the snake wraps the ankle or curls just above the bone.
- Size range
- Small only.
- Detail
- Keep it minimal — a clean line or a simple form. Fine detail blurs quickly on this small, moving surface.
- Comfort
- Moderate to spicy — thin skin directly over the ankle bone.
- Visibility
- Medium — shown with shorts, cropped trousers and sandals.
- Aging & wear
- Ankle tattoos move with every step and see friction from shoes; simple, bold lines age best.
