Clementine Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I want to get a really small tattoo of something like this. Like 1.5". But I cant think of a discreet placement for it. Maybe the base of my neck or between my shoulder blades. But I'm not sold on that yet.

a_beukeveld Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Dont get anything on your neck head or hands. Just above the ankle, just above the elbow ditch, just above the elbow on the back, just above the knee and on the wrist are good places for smaller tattoos. Keep in mind places that will disrupt future bigger tattoos, even if you dont want anything big yet. I would not recommend the back for that reason.

Clementine Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share Posted September 11, 2016 I see the wisdom in not doing the back in case it gets in the way of larger tattoos. Although at the moment I only want a handful of small tattoos, I might change my mind in the future. Although I really like the look of tattoos along the spine, I also like the idea of just above the elbow on the back, so I might use that.

lape Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Upper thigh. If your a man or woman, no one will ever see that spot unless you really get into the effort of showing it off. I also don't think it will translate into a nice tattoo. Change your mind and get a panther with a dagger. a_beukeveld and sister123 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/7260-discreet-placement-for-this-tiny-tattoo/#findComment-129502 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJDeepFried Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I like the idea but not sure a tattoo of that image would read as a book. Maybe if it were at a slight angle. A good tattooer could advise on this and draw up a nice design. Smaller tattoos look best in smaller areas of the body. Wrist, ankle, back of neck, etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/7260-discreet-placement-for-this-tiny-tattoo/#findComment-129503 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clementine Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share Posted September 11, 2016 (edited) Yeah, I still havent found the right image. Maybe something like this? Just the one book.

DJDeepFried Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 The good thing is you don't need to. Find the right artist and tell them what you want.

Clementine Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) I do love the elbow idea. And I found this image which I think would look awesome going up the back of my upper arm, scaled down.

sister123 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I like the idea of doing it on the heel...although I think that would hurt a lot. idk i like small tattoos in smaller areas. i'm not sure if that picture will translate to a good, small tattoo...but you could probably get a variant of it. keep in mind, it may need to be bigger than you originally hoped in order to include detail.

oboogie Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) I have a tattoo on my ankle. It was my very first, now covered up by a bigger one.
