- Small tattoos are a great choice for first-timers.
- There are countless tiny designs to consider, from symbols to words and more.
- Whether you want something simple or abstract, we've rounded up plenty of cool small-tattoo ideas.
If you're nervous or stressed about a permanent tattoo, you're not alone. Removing a tattoo is no picnic, but committing to a single design among countless letters, symbols, and shapes often has us feeling like Maggie Carpenter in "Runaway Bride": terrified, confused, and doubtful. How are you supposed to choose something with so many options out there?
If you're stuck on where to start, we've got you covered with the best small-tattoo ideas. First, think about where you want your tattoo to be. Small finger tattoos, ankle tattoos, and wrist tattoos are most common — they're subtle but noticeable. Whether you're seeking a deep, spiritual symbol; interested in a colorful flower; or just testing the waters before committing to a full sleeve, these adorable mini tattoos showcase an array of abstract, typographic, and illustrative designs (without all those scary strings attached).
If you don't want to go in alone, invite someone to get a tattoo with you. Small-tattoo ideas for couples and best friends can turn your favorite inside jokes into a piece of art. Read ahead to see our favorite tiny-tattoo ideas.
