Thin lines look elegant when fresh, but they need some breathing room to age well. A single stem, a butterfly or a tiny moon has fewer lines to crowd together than a detailed bouquet at the same size.
Think about how the shape sits on the body. Long stems follow the ribs or the forearm, and rounded designs suit the ankle bone or the back of the shoulder. Try a design on a photo of the spot before you book.

Questions
Where do small tattoos for women usually go?
The inner wrist, ankle, collarbone, behind the ear, ribs and back of the shoulder are all common spots for small designs.
Can I add color to a small design?
Yes, though colors need more room to stay separate. A small area of color in a simple design usually holds up better than many colors side by side. Ask your artist.
