Small Tattoo Designs

 

When getting a tattoo, size is definitely a consideration. Fortunately, many tattoo designs are scaleable. While you should bring your design to the tattoo studio roughly the size you want it, your artist should be able to enlarge or shrink the design a bit. Small tattoos are great for the first timer, or for someone who likes a simple, small tattoo design.

Small flower tattoo designs and small butterfly tattoos are very popular among women, and are often placed on the ankle. Don't let size intimidate you: there's nothing wrong with a small tattoo, as long as it is proportionate to the spot you put it on. If you're looking to have a larger design done in a smaller size, be sure to look for simple, straightforward tattoo designs.

Large tattoos have more room for detail: these fine details can run together or lost all together if you shrink a tat design too much. Keep this in mind if you are deciding on a small tattoo, geometric designs or simple images are much better for small tattoos than a portrait or something requiring lots of fine details or shading.

Many people, especially when they're considering their first tattoo, are intimidated by large designs, and they want something less obtrusive or noticeable: if this is you, a small tattoo design is perfect.Most tattoo styles and subjects can be done quite well in a smaller size, though picking the right design for a small tattoo may be tricky, so be willing to ask your artist's advice.
