It is worth remembering that small-sized tattoos consist of vector drawings. As a rule, they are more symbolic. In most cases, such drawings look elegant and simple. They are not devoid of a riddle, a hidden meaning.

• such drawings on the body will last much less time in comparison with a large tattoo;
• small diameter images often need to be corrected.

In this regard, masters do not really like to make such tattoos. A complex detailed image with a large number of colors, lines, penumbra will require, respectively, a larger area on the human body. If such a drawing is larger than a man's palm, it is classified as medium in size. Medium-sized tattoos are the most common. When applying them, they try to emphasize the winning parts of the body, the features of a slender figure. For this purpose, drawings can be stuffed on the shoulder, forearm, shoulder blade, and thigh.

There are the following sizes of medium tattoos.

Tattooing is a fairly popular way of expressing yourself. Recently, it has become fashionable to put pictures of huge sizes on the body. Moreover, they are applied not only by guys, but also by courageous representatives of the fairer sex. An image of large dimensions is no longer just a separate drawing, but a thoughtful composition that can occupy a significant area on the body. Such images are usually located on the back or chest. Some pictures may cover the entire arm (they are called the sleeve) or the entire leg. It will take several sessions to get such a tattoo. The cost of such work is quite high: one session can cost more than 10,000 rubles.

Among the large tattoos, the Japanese variants stand out with special color. Most often they look like huge paintings covering the entire body, excluding only the head and face. The image, which is applied to different parts of the body, is one whole, makes up a single composition. This picture looks very impressive, literally mesmerizing with rich, bright colors and volume. In addition, Eastern philosophy and sacred meaning are always present in these tattoos.Craftsmen are happy to perform such works, because they provide an opportunity to show their skills in all their glory.

If there is a desire to get beautiful tattoos, but the implementation of the plan is constantly postponed, it means that there are unresolved issues in this matter. One of them is the difficulty in determining the size of the picture. When trying to determine the size of a tattoo, you should be guided by the following principles.

• The dimensions of the future tattoo should correspond to the place where they plan to fill it. Stuffing a small dragon or leopard tattoo on the back, for example, would be the wrong decision.
• If the image you like has a lot of details, then it is better to make it three-dimensional. If, on the contrary, there are few details, you can use the dotwork style, minimalism, geometry. For such work, it is advisable to make a drawing with a size of 5 cm or more.
• An improperly chosen pattern, stamped on an arm or leg, can make a part of the body visually smaller. The right choice will emphasize the muscle relief in guys, while girls will be able to show the beauty of body curves.
• If there is a defect on the body, for example, a scar on the ribs or on the collarbone, it can be hidden by stuffing any picture in this place. Its size should be 3 cm larger than the problem area along the contour.
• Multi-color drawing must be filled, making the image large.
• One large tattoo in place will look more colorful. Small pictures located on different parts of the body will look much worse.

In order to mathematically correctly calculate the required size of the future drawing, you can carry out simple calculations. To do this, take a ruler and measure the distance first vertically, and then horizontally. The resulting numbers are multiplied and the area on which the drawing can be placed is obtained.
