Small Tattoos: The 6 Hottest Trends and Lots of Great Ideas!
Small tattoos are very popular right now – and rightly so! We’ll show you the most beautiful trends and reveal what to look out for when making your Tiny Tattoo decision.
Let’s face it: Not liking small tattoos is just like finding chocolate disgusting – you can do that, but it speaks for a rather unusual taste! In any case, the so-called Tiny-Tatts are totally trendy and extremely popular. Especially for women, but also for men, a little tattoo is absolutely great. From cute and playful to cool and elegant to intimate and personal: small tattoos can do everything that big ones can do! Other advantages of small tattoos:
- The stinging is relatively quick (you are usually through after an hour)
- Small motifs are usually not that expensive
- The pain is limited
- They are also the perfect, individual jewelry for small parts of the body such as fingers, ears or toes
- The maintenance of the new tattoo is less time-consuming (but should not be neglected!)
- If at some point in life you no longer want to walk around with them, small tattoos can be very easily covered, temporarily covered with make-up – and in extreme cases they can also be removed by laser much better and cheaper than large ones
Nevertheless, the decision for a Tiny-Tatt should of course be carefully considered! After all, there are a few things to consider with small tattoos, because their small size makes them particularly tricky in two ways.
- Mini tattoos present a huge challenge even to experienced tattoo artists. For particularly filigree motifs, extra fine needles often have to be used and the smaller the size, the more precisely each line has to fit! Therefore – as with any tattoo – it is important to get detailed information beforehand and to put yourself in the hands of an expert! Otherwise the cute panda looks like a strange mole after three years …
- On some parts of the body (e.g. upper arm), small tattoos may look a bit lost. But even this danger can easily be averted: As soon as the template is on the skin, take a calm and critical look in a full-body mirror – ideally have your best friend with you and ask – and that’s good!
So now that we’ve sorted that out, let’s move on to the most important part: ideas and inspiration.
Small Tattoos: The 6 most beautiful trends and motives

Sayings, short quotations, single words or letters with a special meaning – discreet lettering has a particularly strong effect in small sizes with the appropriate design!
