Small meaningful tattoos can have immense power and significance. From quotes from movies or songs that resonated with us to those said by loved ones – inkings that represent what matters will always remind us of who we are as individuals and our beliefs and values.
Micro tattoos can be placed virtually anywhere on the body and provide discreet inking solutions for those uncomfortable flaunting their tattoos or who prefer a more discreet inking solution.
Birthstones
Birthstones make great choices for tattoos of any kind – be they intimate or subtle. Their symbolic value is unmistakable while offering healing and protective benefits.
Historically, assigning gemstones to certain months dates back to Aaron’s breastplate in the Bible, which featured 12 gemstones that symbolized each tribe of Israel at that time.
Insects
Consider an insect theme if you’re seeking something unique for your next tattoo design. Insects have long been associated with beauty, symbolism, and versatility – qualities that would add dimension and creativity to any unique tattoo design.
An insect like a bee can symbolize hard work and perseverance, while its insect counterpart, the cicada, embodies renewal, change, and transformation.
Script
Script tattoos have long been one of the most beloved forms of body art, making an impactful statement with words rather than pictures. Since their introduction, they’ve remained fashionable.
Tattooing yourself with a quote or phrase can be an artful way of showing your interests and passions or symbolizing a significant event or person in your life. Additionally, the script is a popular and thoughtful way to commemorate special days such as birthdays or the Olympics.
Numbers
Tattoo artists frequently look to numbers as inspiration when creating tattoos that adorn our bodies with body art. Whether hidden or displayed, numbers provide an eye-catching and fascinating design feature to add to their body art collection.
One of the most significant uses for numbers is in how they symbolize and tell a narrative. For instance, 555 could represent an inward journey of self-discovery and fulfillment over time. Furthermore, this number can stand in for various acronyms like Fifty-five Five Five Five (FFFF). Being a tattooist yourself could make this number stand for multiple stories!
Food
Food tattoos can carry significant meaning, from small designs such as an apple slice to more significant works that symbolize specific hobbies or passions.
Vegetable-themed micro tattoos can also be an eye-catching way to celebrate healthy foods. Green and red apples make great options as an easy and beautiful way to do that!
Burgers are another classic American food that is beloved among both tattoo-bearers and viewers. A great way to show dedication and affection for them is to etch one on your hand or wrist!
Religious Symbols
Tattoos don’t need to be big and bold in order to convey meaning; smaller tattoos often do so effectively with religious symbols representing multiple ideas or concepts.
Graphic and numerological symbols often associated with specific faiths or practices can include graphical and numerological symbols that depict them – for instance, the Isese religion of Yoruba people from Africa has such an image as part of its religion that represents it graphically and pictorially.
Color
Micro tattoos have become an increasingly trendy fashion statement. Although micro designs don’t always look as polished as standard tattoo styles, they fade more rapidly over time than regular designs.
If you’re seeking a micro tattoo, selecting an artist with experience creating intricate fine-line work is wise. Not all artists possess the talent for creating tiny tattoos, so do your research and review their portfolio before scheduling an appointment.
