FAQ'S

What size counts as a “tiny tattoo”?

Tiny tattoos are generally under 2 inches and feature simple, fine-line designs. If your design is larger, we’ll provide an adjusted quote.

Can I bring my own design?

Absolutely! Send us your inspo picture or your own design. We’ll confirm if it’s suitable for fine-line tattooing and make small adjustments if needed.

Where can I get a tiny tattoo?

Common placement areas include:

– Wrist, arms, ankle, behind the ear, or collarbone.

We’ll help you choose a spot that heals well and complements the design.

How do I prepare for my appointment?

Arrive with clean skin (no lotion, oils, or fake tan).

  • Eat a light meal and stay hydrated.
  • Avoid alcohol or blood thinners 24 hours before.
  • Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being tattooed.

Does it hurt?

Tiny tattoos are quick! The discomfort is minimal and feels similar to a small scratch. Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, but these are among the least painful tattoos.

How long does it take?

Most tiny tattoos take 15–30 minutes, depending on placement and detail.

What should I do after my tattoo?

Aftercare is key for crisp, healed results:

  • If bandaged, leave the bandage on for 2–4 hours.
  • Gently wash with mild, unscented soap and warm water.
  • Pat dry and apply a thin layer of tattoo aftercare ointment or unscented moisturizer.
  • Avoid soaking, swimming, or sun exposure for 2 weeks.
  • Don’t scratch or pick at the area while it heals.

How long does it take to heal?

Most tiny tattoos heal within 1–2 weeks, with full healing at around 4 weeks.

Can I tan or get a facial/body service after?

Please wait until your tattoo is fully healed before tanning, exfoliating, or receiving body treatments in that area to avoid irritation or fading.
