There are lots of decisions to be made if you are getting a tattoo. The design of the tattoo, the size and the location on your body are all things you must consider. Even if you have decided on a theme, size and location for your tattoo, there are dozens of designs available for most themes.
You should also decide if you want to have a permanent or a temporary tattoo, or a single or different colored tattoo. Another very important factor is the size. You can choose a big tattoo like a sleeve tattoo that covers one area of your body like legs or arms or a small tattoo like a wrist tattoo, to cite some examples.
While temporaries are not practical for large tattoos, they are a great way to experiment with size, theme and location for small tattoos. You may try several before you make your final decision.
Since these tattoos are small, you can easily hide them with your sleeves or pants or anything. This is very convenient especially if you will go to a formal event or meeting, like a job interview or a conference where having a tattoo is bad for your image as a responsible and hardworking employee.
Big tattoos require much more ink and time and effort on the tattoo artist’s side which makes them more expensive than small tattoos. So if you are on a budget but you cannot wait to have a tattoo, you can opt for a small tattoo which is cheaper and takes a short time to finish.
If for some reasons you have decided to erase your small tattoo, it would be easier than if you have a big tattoo. Erasing a permanent tattoo means drawing a skin-colored tattoo over your original design. Imagine if you have a sleeve tattoo or a tattoo that covers your whole back. Not only will it be more expensive and time-consuming, it will also be more painful.
You have to take good care of your small tattoo because they fade more easily compared to big tattoos. Do not try to rub the area where you have the tattoo. When you take a bath or a shower, gently wash the area with the tattoo.
Some parts of your body where small tattoos can be drawn are on the wrist, finger, neck, back of the neck, near the bell button, and so on. These are very small so you can place them wherever you want.
Popular designs include oriental symbols and characters, zodiac signs, flowers, insects, cartoon characters and religious symbols. Celtic knot work may be used as a ring around the fingers. It is important to choose the right design and location because this design will be with you as long as you live. don’t select a design you may not be happy with in a few years.
For those who like tattoos, but cannot display their body art at work, multiple small tattoos can be placed in a number of areas that will be hidden by your work clothes. If you decide on several tattoos, it is wise to stay with a single theme and chose different designs that harmonize. They will still be visible, at least to you.
