We come across people with full arm or full back tattoos almost everyday. As amazing as that is, tattoos don't necessarily have to be so big or prominent in every case.

It's a common thought that tattoo artists often prefer large tattoos over the small ones. Now, what you need to understand is, for an artist, you are the canvas. An artist also would love to be creative. They usually have more freedom with large designs as they can't be directly copied from an existing one. But when it comes to small tattoos, people usually have repetitive ideas. That's what gets them bored, not the size.

As a matter of fact, small tattoos can be very artistic and elegant. It takes a lot of creativity to present ideas with a minimal and simple design.

It's always better to avoid common ideas, but to have something of your own. Your ideas may be very simple, but it's yours. That's what matters! We have a detailed blog explaining customized tattoos.

Having said that, it may actually be very difficult for you to come up with tattoo ideas from scratch. This is specially true, if it's your first tattoo.

Here we present an array of small yet creative tattoos that we have done over time. Let it give you an idea of what to expect.
