There are few works of body art as startlingly precise as the small detailed tattoo.
Sometimes the most impressive tattoo pieces are the barely noticeable ones that require a second-or third-look just to make sure your eyes can believe what they see.
The amount of skill and painstaking technique that goes into a micro-detailed small tattoo speaks highly of the artist who takes on the task.
Today many choose small tattoo designs for their toes, knuckles, behind-the-ear, and wrist areas as a strong but subtle nod to the art form.
Detailed anchors, stars, animals, and ornamental figures are just a few of the designs available, with additional steampunk and cyber implementation an increasingly popular choice.
Regardless of where and how you choose to display your work of micro tattoo art, these bold but understated pieces will leave a lasting impression.
