1. Flower

A small flower tattoo is so classy and looks good in a minimalist style! If you get a small tattoo on the inner side of your forearm, it’s easy to hide by crossing your arms or wearing long sleeves.

2. Mountains

Some small mountains make a super cute tattoo that lets people know you love the outdoors! It’s a really sophisticated looking tat that connects you with nature and pays respect to the importance of the natural world in our lives. A small tattoo along your collarbone is easily hidable by wearing most styles of shirts or can even be hidden if you’ve got long enough hair!

3. Initial 

Getting a single letter or initials is a great go-to if you’re not sure of what small tattoo to get. The initial can be any letter that’s important to you, like your own initials, the initials of a loved one, or even just your favorite letter of the alphabet! The type-writer style gives a classic vibe and getting a small tattoo on the inside of your wrist can be covered up with long sleeves, crossing your arms, or bracelets!

4. Zodiac Sign

If you’re into astrology, getting your zodiac sign or the sign of someone important to you as a small tattoo is really cool and can be easily hidden if it’s on the back of your neck. The collars of jackets, long hair and scarves are all great ways to hide a small tattoo in this spot, but only if you want to, of course! Zodiac signs all have really unique designs that can be styled in many different ways, but they each make a really cute tiny tattoo.

6. Heart

What’s more classic than a heart? Having a tiny heart tattoo on your shoulder is adorable and very easy to hide if you’re wearing any sort of t-shirt or top that’s got sleeves. Heart tattoos look great colored or not colored and can be styled so many different ways or kept minimalistic, the options are endless!

7. Wave

A small wave tattoo gives off a really cool beachy vibe and tells people you have a love for the ocean and that you don’t mind going with the flow. It’s a classic design that can be kept really simple or amped up with cool patterns or lines, it’s really up to your style preference! Getting a small tattoo on your side or along your ribcage is a really cool place to get a tattoo that can only be seen in certain circumstances so it’s easy to hide if you need to!

8. Quote

Quotes make for really cute small tattoos and can be really easily hidden if you get them around your hip or waistband area.

9. Paper Plane

The small paper plane is a tattoo that’s increasing in popularity and it’s obvious why – it’s adorable! It’s whimsical and makes people want to know more about it and the tiny dotted trail that marks its path is reminiscent of the one we typically see behind a bumblebee, which is also adorable! Getting a small tattoo on your ankle is a great option if you ever need or want to hide it. A tall sock, pants, a long skirt, or a tall boot will all cover this tiny tat up nicely!
