Trends in the tattoo world come and go, although some things (think dragon tattoos) are constantly popular. The latest trend which seems to be here to stay are micro tattoos, which started to appear on celebrities and Instagram posts a couple of years back.
What are micro tattoos?
Micro tattoos are exactly what they sound like – very small tattoos.
Usually simplistic and plain black in colour, they became popular after Justine Bieber and Kendall Jenner got them.
They are found mostly on the hands and fingers, almost like jewellery, but of course can be put anywhere.
Why are they popular?
Well, apart from people following their favourite celebrity, micro tattoos are popular because they can be covered up for work, or for anyone who wants a tattoo, but is unsure where to start or what to get.
Micro tattoo designs are usually very simple, with tiny geometric shapes, animals, arrows all popular choices.
They are very popular amongst women, and are seen as cute, respectable, and refined, especially if they mean something personal.
Because of their size, they are quick to complete and cheaper than a normal tattoo.
