Before you walk into the tattoo shop, you should have an idea of what you want to get and where. Keep reading to get some inspiration from our favorite ideas for small tattoos.
1. Finger Tattoos
One of the most common places to put tiny tattoos is on your fingers. The reason for this is that only micro tattoos can fit on your fingers. Keep in mind that hand tattoos will blur and fade faster than other areas on your body.
2. Wrist Tattoos
Another common location to put a dainty tattoo is on your wrist. Some people put them on the inside of their wrists. But, a talented tattooist can ink a piece of fine jewelry onto your wrist that you never need to take off!
3. Head Tattoos
Here’s something to think about. Why not put a tiny butterfly tattoo behind your ear or at the nape of your neck?
There are lots of small canvases on your head where you can put tattoos. If you’re trying to keep it hidden and you’re feeling brave, consider going for a tiny tattoo on the inside of your lower lip!
4. Small Tattoos on Larger Areas
Most people think about putting mini tattoos in smaller areas because it fills the space a bit more. But, you can also put micro tattoos on larger areas too! A simple rose tattoo on your shoulder or a special symbol on your forearm can look classy if that’s the look you’re going for.
5. Foot Tattoos
People who like to wear sandals or flip flops with their feet on display may enjoy some artful ink on the top of their feet. But, like the hands, these tattoos tend to fade fast so pick something simple and bold that will stay legible for a longer time.
Your Body Is a Journal and Tattoos Are the Stories
