If you have made the decision to get a tattoo, the available choices may be a bit overwhelming. Even if you've already decide on the theme of your tattoo, for instance, a rose, there are dozens of designs from which you can choose. Choosing the perfect tattoo can be hard.
If you are planning to get a fairly small tattoo, you can try out your body art with a temporary tattoo before taking the plunge. If you decide to try this, have a picture taken of your temporary tattoo for your tattoo artist. This won't work for large tattoos that cover the skin on your back or arm. Most temporaries come as a decal and are rather small.
If you are planning on a small tattoo, the temporaries are a great way to find out how you like the design and location. You can also get opinions from your friends and family.
One advantage of small tattoos is that they can easily be hidden. Nor everyone has a positive attitude about tattoos and it may not be acceptable to display your body art in your workplace. Small tattoos located in areas which are normally covered by clothing may be the best option if you aren't comfortable displaying your tattoo at social functions.
Big tattoos require much more ink and time and effort on the tattoo artist's side which makes them more expensive than small tattoos. So if you are on a budget but you cannot wait to have a tattoo, you can opt for a small tattoo which is cheaper and takes a short time to finish.
Tattoos are considered permanent although they can be removed by a cosmetic surgeon with the use of a surgical laser. If you have a tattoo removed, it may leave a scar, or an area of skin with light pigmentation. A small tattoo is easier to remove than a large tattoo. The procedure to remove a large tattoo may also take several appointments.
The one disadvantage of small tattoos is their tendency to fade over time. Larger tattoos fade less than small ones. Never rub you tattoo or use body scrub type cleansers on it. Be sure to pay attention to your artist's instructions for caring for your tattoo.
While the location of large tattoos may be limited to certain areas of the body due to their size, small tattoos can be placed almost anywhere on the body. Many women like a dragonfly or flower design on their wrist or above the ankle bone. Some people like to use the back of their neck.
Women often chose roses or butterflies for a small tattoo. Other floral designs and religious symbols like crosses are popular as well. Men and women may opt for Chinese or Japanese characters or zodiac designs for their small tattoos. The choice of tattoo is important because you will have to live with it for the rest of your life.
It is also easy to put several small tattoos all over your body. You can have one on your finger, one on your inner wrist, another at the back of your neck, and in other places but still they will not be so obvious, unlike if you have several big tattoos.
