About this book

This reference library of more than 1,000 mini works of art, in a range of styles and a myriad of carefully organized subjects, is a source of inspiration for tattoo artists or for anyone browsing for a foray into ink.

Introduction

Tattoo artist and Instagram star Rebecca Vincent introduces us to the world of tiny tattoos, describes her experiences of working as a tattooist, and discusses what to consider when getting a tattoo. A placement guide reveals the parts of the body with the highest pain thresholds and which spots are best to prevent the artwork from dropping out, fading, or blurring.

The Tattoo Directory

The directory is organized into 11 easy-to-understand categories, such as Animals, Nature, Travel, Symbols, and Food, and includes tips and advice from Rebecca about the symbology and origin of the designs.
