Small tattoos can look great, but there are a few tips to keep in mind before you get one. Sophia Petry / EyeEm/Getty Images
Jesse Smith, celebrity tattoo artist, shop owner, and codirector of the Richmond Tattoo, Art & Music Festival, told one of the biggest mistakes people make when getting small tattoos is getting them too small.
Small Tattoo Ideas
You can expect the lines to double, triple, and sometimes quadruple in width over time, so it's best to keep that in mind when choosing a design, Smith added.
Smith told you should consider the placement of your small tattoo, as he's seen people put them on large patches of skin and end up wanting to fill up their body with something bigger.
Throughout my career, I've seen many people start with a super small tattoo, and then, later, they decide that they want something bigger. This typically leads to having to cover up the little tattoo and/or odd placement within the body part, Smith said.

With small tattoos on the wrist, sometimes people want it 'facing them, ' which makes the tattoo look upside down. Say they are getting a word tattooed, and they want it placed facing them so when they look at their hand, it's right side up, Simms said.
However, your arms are mostly down — relaxed, standing, in photos — therefore, the tattoo always looks upside down, and this is a huge bone of contention amongst tattooers, she added.

Destination Ink: Six Of The Best Tattoo Artists From Around The Globe
Jen Bean, a tattoo artist at Loose Screw Tattoo, told small tattoos aren't the best option if you're hoping to incorporate many details into the art.
An issue with smaller tattoos is that the client often wants 'everything but the kitchen sink, Bean said, adding that, over time, all of those details will bleed together.
Tattoo artist Lorena Lorenzo of Indigo ArTattoos told that even though getting a small tattoo can be fun and spontaneous, it's essential to think about the placement.

Finger tattoos, inner-lips tattoos, and work done on the hands and ears are very trendy these days, especially minimalistic ones that look very cute at first, Lorenzo said. But later, they will become a nightmare and hard to fix or retouch due to the area they are on.
When in doubt, ask your tattoo artist about what you need to be aware of if you ink a certain spot on your body.
Gianna Caranfa, tattoo artist and owner of Bee Inked Parlor, warns against choosing yellow or white ink for small linework tattoos since your skin is naturally darker than these pigments in most cases.

Since tattoos are in the second layer of skin, the first few days of a tattoo in this pigment will look bright and visible; however, once the first layer grows back over, it will be hidden by your skin tone, she said.
Brandon David, tattoo artist and founder of Tattoo Space, said it's also important to keep your undertones in mind when choosing any design.
Some people have tan skin with a yellow undertone or a red undertone. Some darker complexions have yellow or red undertones, David told . Understanding this allows you to pick the right color for the tattoo to ensure it heals and settles long term at the desired color and ages well.
Tattoo Healing Process: Steps, Aftercare, And Precautions
David warned against using yellows and golds on tan skin with yellow undertones, as the skin will mute the tattoo colors and small tattoos, in particular, will become hardly noticeable and muddy.
Some assume that just any artist can do a small tattoo, but Caranfa told that's not always the case. Not researching your artist might lead to a poor-quality tattoo.
Usually, when a tattoo artist can take you right away, there is a reason — whether they are still new/an apprentice or lack good work and are not busy, Caranfa said.

Plus doing small tattoos requires a lot of expertise. Someone without proper experience might end up using too-thick lines or creating unsteady, scratchy linework.
It's not uncommon to see a small tattoo paired with a lettered word or phrase. This can emit a cluttered look, especially for smaller tattoos.
A lot of people want to get a tattoo that means something so they choose a picture that represents that. But then, sometimes, they also want to write it out. They want to say, in words, exactly what the image already represents, David said.
Inked Up Sneaks!
The inside of the wrist is a very common tattoo placement for small tattoos — but this skin is not the same as the arm or even the top side of the wrist, David said.
Places like the inner wrist, elbow, elbow ditch, knees, knee ditches, armpits, and ankles can be especially tricky to tattoo and are prone to multiple issues when it comes to tattoos and longevity.
David recommends working with a knowledgeable artist to understand if a special approach is needed to ensure the tattoo you're getting heals and lasts.Our search for new interesting personalities and amazing tattoos goes on.

How Much Should You Tip A Tattoo Artist?
Reflections of Darkness [RoD]: When did you get your first tattoo and what was it? Did it take much time until you decided to get it done?
I got my first tattoo on my 16th birthday, that’s the legal age to get a tattoo with a parents consent in the state of Indiana. We live in Chicago where the law is 18 years old but I begged my mom to take me over the boarder for the tattoo. It’s a Celtic cross on my left upper-arm, I wanted to get something classic that my family would approve of and I wouldn’t regret later in life.
I really haven’t counted in years, I probably have over 60 tattoos, I’m pretty covered at this point. Some are very meaningful and some are more for the art. I have the words “Live Fun!” on my knuckles, that’s an important tattoo for me to remember, no matter how serious things get, have fun. I have a tiger jumping through flames on my stomach and to me that represents hard work. I show that in a lot of my tattoos, the anvil on the inside of my palm means the same thing, work hard.

I don’t think I’ll ever be finished with tattoos, I look forward to traveling more and getting tattoos on my legs to remind me of those places.
RoD: Have all your tattoos been done by one tattoo artist or by different ones? How do you choose the tattoo artist? In addition, who draws your sketches?
I usually draw my tattoos, and my artist tightens them up. My main artist is my friend Chicago Justin at Angels and Demons Tattoo in Indianapolis Indiana. He does great work and it’s always a fun time hanging out at the shop.

It sure does, I find it relaxing to have something like a cough drop or something to be there for me to bite. Wooden, tooth picks work too. I’ve never taken any drugs to avoid pain, alcohol doesn’t help anything and to me, for tradition, it’s best to go through it like everyone else had to before us.
No, I love tattoos and have no regrets. Sometimes when the pain is just awful I ask myself why do I put myself through it haha. But I’m always happier when I leave the shop than going in. Tattoos just make me feel more like me.

RoD: Some people say that the drive to acquire body art is addictive while others say it fails to meet the true definition of an addiction, simply calling it a passion. Is it really impossible to stop?
I’ve been a tattoo artist and I definitely see how it can be addicting to people. There’s people who have gotten one tattoo from me and
