You know the saying ‘Don’t judge a book by its cover?’ The same rule can be changed into ‘Don’t judge a person by its ink.’ Getting some body art inked is, probably, one of the best ways for self-expression – be it a drawing in remembrance of your past beliefs or shenanigans, or be it a minimal tattoo filled with deep meanings. No tattoo design is meaningless or ugly because there’s always something bigger behind it. At least to the person who chose the unique tattoo, that is.

These days everyone seems to have some ink on their bodies, and big designs don’t surprise anyone anymore. And if full body designs and teardrops may not be appropriate tattoo ideas for kindergarten teachers, minimalist tattoos are no longer excluded from official or modest work appearances. How else can you show everyone that you are an individual, right?

This collection of small tattoos is the answer. Small is the new big! Which one is your favorite?
