Small tattoos offer more discreet body art solutions. Plus, they can easily be concealed underneath clothing if necessary.
Tattoo spots vary in popularity, yet certain spots remain consistent across gender lines – perfect spots for small tattoos you’ll be proud to show off!
Chest
The chest area is ideal for small tattoos that represent critical events in life and would like to show off. Ink can also be applied here to add character.
Chest tattoos can be bold and seductive while simultaneously symbolizing strength and confidence. They’re also the perfect place for larger pieces that might not look right elsewhere on your body.
Various tattoo designs look fantastic on the chest, from simple linework to more complex styles like photorealism or heavily shaded blackwork. What matters when getting a chest tattoo is having an artist that knows exactly how to render the image so it makes your chest stand out.
Shoulder
Shoulder tattoos are becoming an increasingly popular choice. Their broad and flat surfaces accommodate various themes and designs, as well as memorial dates or images of deceased loved ones.
Females looking to get their first tattoo should consider getting it on their shoulders; it won’t cause much pain and can easily be hidden when needed.
Back
Back tattoos are one of the most sought-after spots for small designs because their skin doesn’t stretch as easily or change shape over time – an ideal spot for beginning tattoo artists to get their first ink done!
An attractive tattoo in this area looks beautiful on any body type, even more so when hidden by long hair or a high-collared shirt.
Neck
The neck area makes a perfect canvas for small tattoos that don’t cover too much skin. Floral tattoos and necklace tattoos are two options of tattoos you could add.
Collarbone tattoos (sometimes known as clavicle tattoos) adorn the delicate collarbone that runs from your neck to shoulder, most popularly seen among women but also done on men.
These tattoos don’t hurt as much as they appear, and they heal rapidly, as can be hidden by long hair or high-collared shirts – making them an excellent option for many people.
Thigh
Thigh tattoos have become one of the most sought-after spots, especially among women, as a small tattoo location. Their fleshy skin provides an ideal canvas for tattoo artists to showcase various designs.
Thigh bands feature small ink designs featuring flowers, leaves and vines connected by intricate lines to form a cohesive design on either leg area. Often these tiny tattoos don’t overpower this area of leg skin.
Roses are an iconic thigh tattoo motif, representing passion and love. Roses tattoos come in bold, vibrant designs or simple blackwork options.
Calf
Calf tattoos are one of the most frequently chosen spots for small ink designs, as this area contains plenty of muscle mass with few nerve endings to disrupt its design.
As it has a lot of fat, making it an excellent spot for tattoos without much discomfort, the hip can also provide the ideal setting.
Various designs make an eye-catching calf tattoo, including skulls, snakes and symbols.
