Anyone searching for a toothpick sized tattoo is looking for a super small tattoo. No kidding, right? However, there’s generally a little more reasoning for referencing a “toothpick” when establishing the criteria for choosing a studio and artist to do the work. What the individual (yourself included) is seeking, is not only someone who can do a very small tattoo, but an artist who can work an intricate design into such a small space on the skin. And that is where many shops/artists fall short. Adrenaline VanCity Granville on the other hand, is one of the few local parlors that can deliver on your particular desire. Read ahead for further insight.
Where to Get a Toothpick Sized Tattoo in Vancouver BC
Toothpick Sized = Micro-Tattooing
If you’re looking for a detailed toothpick sized tattoo, you’re looking for an artist who excels in micro-tattooing. Micro-style is a term used to describe the process of “shrinking” a design from flash, illustration, or photo and applying it to a very small area of skin without (or minimally) compromising the details of the design. It takes years of experience to become comfortable in this discipline, much less a specialist. Adrenaline VanCity’s Rad Carney is Vancouver’s micro-realism specialist. Further, he has expertise in toothpick sized tattoos in the following styles that complement the work quite well:
- Animated / cartoon
- Blackwork
- Black & grey
- Dot-work
- Fine line
- Sketch-work
- Other (contact us to ask)
