Small Tattoo Questions

What's the best size for a first tattoo?

Most first-timers choose 1-2 inch designs. They're noticeable but not overwhelming, heal quickly, and can be placed almost anywhere on the body.

Do small tattoos hurt less?

Generally yes! Small tattoos take less time (15-30 minutes), meaning less discomfort. The pain level also depends on placement - fleshy areas hurt less than bony areas.

How much do small tattoos cost?

Small tattoos typically range from $50-200 depending on complexity and artist. Most shops have a minimum charge regardless of size.
