Micro Tattoos are an increasingly popular way to display quality body art, whether etched in complex single needle designs or more simple fashion.

Micro and tiny tattoo ideas are often more sophisticated than their larger, more convoluted counterparts, and are a must-have for collectors wanting body art with symbolism that fits their ideal size and level of complexity.

Small pieces are often a preference for those on a budget or those who want to get body art that they can conceal more easily.

Many micro tattoos are simple and inexpensive pieces of deft linework or black ink, while for others they are significant pieces done with precise single needle art that can cost as much or more than designs twice their size.
