Collection: Small Tattoo Ideas

A tiny linework symbol can take 10–30 minutes. Most small tattoos take 30–60 minutes. If there’s detailed shading, color, or fine lines, expect 1–2 hours. Time varies by design complexity, size, placement, skin type, and the artist’s speed. Setup, stencil placement, and short breaks can add a little time. Plan for a full hour in the studio even for very small pieces.
