Small tattoos
They are the most delicate and discreet way to add some ink to your tattoo collection. Whether it is a small heart, hidden under the wrist or a miniature on the ribs, tattoos are the new trend among the young tattoo fans. Small tattoos are charming and often feel like jewelery for those who have them. Many like this "accessory" - small words, stars, eyes and other, can be fun and facetious. Fresh and juvenile, mini tattoos inspire for more and more, but before you mark your choise search inspiration among milions of tattoo designs that suit you best.
Many clients like smaller and more individual, linked together or not, tattoo designs. This is a great opportunity for those who have diverse interests and ideas they want to combine. We truly love such projects and they are always unique for each client.
Large tattoos
Go big or go home. From sleeves to full back pieces, submerge in the large and out of the cliche tattoo world. The large tattoos keep gaining popularity. Despite being a matter of brave decision, we keep creating designs for sleeves, legs and back, which vary from one continious piece to many linked together. Due to the size, complexity and time these projects take, we often recieve many questions about the process.
So here it is some information, which can be helpful to make a decision if you choose a larger tattoo design.
Time to complete a tattoo
The most frequently asked question is about the time needed to complete a project. Because everithing is individual there is no a universal answer, without discussing the details for your desired tattoo piece. large pieces are different which means that they have a significant difference in time to complete the project. While some tattoos take one long sitting, other designs can require few sittings and multiple sessions over weeks or even months. You may have to spend 8 or more hours in the chair.
Design a tattoo
Again, tattoo designs vary, from person to person, each tattoo has to be individual and it allows you to take the most important decision, when it comes to your dreamed large piece. The final result of these works always astonishes, leaving the client with a tattoo which stands out and impresses. If the tattoo is big and intriguing, also increases the time till completion.
Detail
And at last, one huge bonus-everithing is in details. Large tattoos apparently require more skin surface. This way it is possible to emphasize on individual aspects to create truly detailed and realistic piece. Not only this, but larger tattoos don't fade in the same way as smaller ones, preserving the good contrast in color or black & gray tattoos.
Color or Black & Gray
One of the most important decisions to make is to determine whether the design will be in color or Black & Gray. You may have not considered and you may thought "Only one tattoo is enough and i am pleased". We all love spontaneity, but because your tattoos are expensive art statement, to provide extra time could relieve the whole process in the next steps.
