Match the size to the level of detail. The most common style in this gallery is Surreal.

Minimalist and fine-line versions can stay small, for example on the wrist, ankle or behind the ear. Print the design at the size you want, hold it against the spot you are considering, and settle the final size and placement with your tattoo artist.
