What is a Micro Tattoo?

Micro tattoos are extremely small tattoos (1–5 cm) with surprising detail. This trend exploded in 2025–2026, driven by social media and the younger generation's preference for subtle body art.

Limitations of Micro Tattoos

Keep in mind that micro tattoos have limitations. Too much detail in too small a space will blur over time (ink spread). Our artists will advise on a minimum size to ensure the result stays sharp for years to come.

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions

How small can a tattoo be?

Around 2 cm minimum for simple designs. Designs with more detail require a larger size so they don't blur.

Do micro tattoos fade faster?

Micro tattoos tend to experience ink spread faster. We recommend touch-ups every 3–5 years to maintain sharpness.

Where is the best placement for micro tattoos to last?

Areas with less skin movement: forearms, inner wrists, behind the ear, and collarbones.
