12 small designs on one sheet
The full-page sheet below the gallery prints 12 small designs together, each at 1.5 inches. It is the quickest way to compare them on your skin: print once, cut out a few and hold them up to the spot you have in mind.
How small can a tattoo be?
Below about 1 inch, details start to blur together as a tattoo ages. The designs here have thick lines and simple shapes so they stay readable at 1–1.5 inches. If you shrink one further, pick a design with fewer lines, such as the crown, heart or star.

Questions
Where do small tattoos work best?
Wrists, ankles, behind the ear, fingers and the back of the neck are common spots for designs this size.
Can I print the 12-design sheet on A4?
Yes. Every sheet comes as both a Letter and an A4 PDF, and the designs stay the same size on both.
Can I make them even smaller?
You can scale down in the print dialog, but keep simple designs and check the gaps between lines are still clear on paper.
