Tattoo Design Choice - Part 4 by Jim Whanarere

A Small or a Big Tattoo?

Hi There!

Does size really matter?

Well, I don't feel like the right person to answer that question :)

But when it comes to tattoos the answer is no.

Well sort of..

It all depends on why you are thinking of getting a small tattoo.

If you are thinking of getting a small tattoo because you aren't positive that you really want a tattoo and think that getting a smaller one will be like testing the waters to see if tattoos are really for you then you should take some more time to think about whether or not to commit to getting a tattoo.

The fact of the matter is that a tattoo of any size is still a lifelong commitment.

A small tattoo may be less noticeable (or not noticeable at all, depending on location) than a larger one but it is still always going to be there no matter how big or small it is.

Large tattoos can be a great idea for a number of reasons. Larger tattoos allow for more detail in the artwork. There is also more opportunity to include color that will really enhance the tattoo. How large you decide to go is up to you. A larger tattoo doesn't have to take up a great deal of surface area but it should be a size that you are happy with.

The back is one area where larger tattoos tend to look better than smaller ones because there is so much area to work with on the back.

Small tattoos can also be very beautiful. Depending on the design and the location you might decide to have your tattoo very small. For example a small flower on you ankle or hip might look really good but going with a larger tattoo in those locations might look awkward and out of place.

What's the cost of a tattoo and is there a connection between cost and quality? Find out in Part 5!

Take care!
