TINY TATTOOS

FAQ

  • Tiny tattoos, also known as micro tattoos, are subtle, delicate and often minimalist artwork that are impactful using fine lines. The tattooist uses fine needles to create images, letters, words, script writing, numbers, mandalas, geometrics or anything you can imagine.

  • Smaller tattoos take less time, have less detail, and heal faster. Therefore small tattoos minimize both the initial pain that you will experience as the tattoo is being done as well as the soreness that will last a few days as your tattoo heals.

  • Numbing is not needed as it can possibly affect your results and make it more difficult for the artist to work on your skin.

  • Even though tiny tattoos fade more quickly than bigger ones, they are easier to fix when it happens. Depending on the placement, the tattoo may last longer than most.

  • If you are interested in adding color to your tattoo, contact us and we can discuss available color options.

  • Small (Under 3”) 45 Min

    Medium (3-5”) 1 Hour 30 Min

    Large (Over 5”) 2 Hours +

  • We do NOT perform any cosmetic tattooing on anyone who is pregnant or nursing as a precaution.

  • -Skin sensitivities and allergies are always taken into consideration on an individual assessment. The majority of clients with skin sensitivities or allergies are minor and eligible for tattooing, only resulting in a mild redness of the skin that subsides within an hour or two post-treatment.

    -Allergies to cosmetics, latex, ink and adhesives should always be disclosed with us prior to your appointment.

  • Touch ups may be required after the 6 week mark to ensure long lasting results. Touch up pricing depends on the size and type of tattoo.
