A smaller tattoo, carefully considered
Choose the size for the drawing you want to wear.
Small tattoos still involve choices about detail, spacing and placement. A compact piece can be bold or delicate. What matters is giving the drawing enough room. Bring a rough measurement and we’ll discuss how the idea can work at that scale.

What fits at a smaller scale?
The subject and its detail guide the dimensions. Your artist will explain where lines need more space or where a simpler composition works better. Our fine-line page looks at these decisions in more detail.
If you’re asking about one of an artist’s flash designs, include it in your enquiry. For custom work, send references and the approximate size you prefer.

If it’s your first tattoo
You’ll have time to discuss the design, check the stencil and ask about the appointment, whatever the size of the piece.
Our first-tattoo guide covers preparation and the day itself. Tell us about any nerves or comfort needs when you enquire.
Questions about planning your tattoo
Questions you may have
01Do you offer small tattoos?
Yes. Include the subject, placement and approximate dimensions in your enquiry. We’ll discuss the drawing and the space it needs.
02How small can the design be?
That depends on the marks and detail involved. Your artist may suggest more space or a simpler drawing to keep the subject clear.
03Can I walk in for a small tattoo?
Appointments are recommended. An artist may occasionally have time on the day, depending on the design and their schedule. Contact us before you come in, as same-day availability is not guaranteed.
04Is a small tattoo a good first piece?
Size is your choice, guided by what the design needs and what you want to wear. A smaller tattoo receives the same consultation, design check and care guidance as a larger one.
