Advantages of small tattoos
Small tattoos (under 5cm) are the most accessible category and the most requested for a first tattoo. At Funky Tattoo we work on dozens of small pieces daily — and the advantages are clear.
- Discreet — easy to hide at work or in formal contexts. Ideal for professions with a strict dress code.
- Fast — the session takes 30-60 minutes, including the sketch. Many small pieces are finished within an hour.
- Affordable — the starting price is 250 RON, regardless of style. A small budget is enough for a quality piece.
- Easy to hide — perfect for areas like the wrist, ankle, behind the ear, ribs.
- Fast healing — a small traumatised area of skin heals in 2 weeks, without complications.
- Minimal investment — if the piece doesn't turn out as you wanted, the visual and financial impact is limited. Of course, at Funky Tattoo we work with sketches approved before execution.
- Extension possibility — a small piece can later become the starting point for a larger composition.
Note: even a small tattoo requires the same rigour of execution as a large one. Sterilisation, ink quality and artist experience matter just as much. Don't be tempted by 'cheap studios' — the difference shows in 2-3 years.
