Small Tribal Cross Tattoos

If you've seen practically any movie or television show lately, you might be under the impression that certain types of people get certain types of tattoos. Women get butterflies or flowers; men get tribal armbands - at least according to the media. But if you look closely, you'll see that there's lots of flexibility, especially for small cross tattoos.

A cross tattoo is a good choice for both men and women. If you're a man, you might feel pressured to choose a large design. But a nice tattoo doesn't have to be one that covers your entire chest or back. You can make a statement that's equally powerful if you select a small design.

One important thing to keep in mind is that you have more freedom to choose where to place a small tattoo. Big tattoos necessarily require large patches of skin, but a small tattoo can be placed almost anywhere. If you want to place a tattoo on your arm or leg, for example, a smaller design will fit more easily than a large one.

For ladies, a small tattoo is probably the more intuitive choice. Women are usually smaller than men, so they have less skin to work with. Also, because their bodies are more curvaceous, it can be hard to find an area that can be tattooed relatively easily (and relatively painlessly)! A smaller tattoo is often seen as more feminine.
