Does the size (of your tattoo) really matter?

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.
