Collection: Tiny Tattoo Ideas

Tiny tattoos (about 0.5–1 inch) often take 10–30 minutes of actual tattooing. Simple one-line symbols can be done in 5–15 minutes. If there’s fine-line detail, shading, color, or a tricky spot (fingers, ribs), it can take 30–45 minutes, sometimes up to an hour. Time varies by design complexity, placement, skin type, and the artist’s speed. Setup, stencil placement, and cleanup add a few minutes. Plan about 30–60 minutes in the studio for most tiny pieces.
