Small Tattoo Ideas
Small tattoos work best with simple shapes and open lines, because very fine detail blurs as ink settles over the years. Fine line and minimalist styles suit wrists, fingers, ankles, behind the ear and the collarbone. Click any design to make your own version.

Questions
Where do small tattoos look best?
Inner wrist, ankle, behind the ear, collarbone, finger and the back of the neck are the most popular spots for small designs.
Do small tattoos fade faster?
Very thin, tightly packed lines can blur over time. Keep small designs simple, with some space between lines, and ask your artist about the minimum size for the detail you want.
