Wrist Name Tattoos: A Guide to Micro Designs

Miniature name tattoos on the wrist are a really popular choice for women—a subtle, personal way to remember someone or show you care. The tiny size means every detail counts; it’s where my micro tattoo experience comes into play.

Design Considerations

These small designs are all about the details. Think about delicate script fonts, like Spencerian or brush lettering—they really suit a smaller scale. Initials are classic, of course, but even just a shortened version of a name can look gorgeous.

Placement Ideas

Where you put it matters. I often see them placed just above the wrist bone, on the inner wrist—or even peeking out from under jewelry for a little surprise.

The Micro Tattoo Process

Creating micro tattoos is meticulous work. It requires incredibly precise line work and shading to make sure everything’s clear, even at that size. I focus on clean lines, accurate needle placement, and a steady hand—it's all about capturing every tiny detail.
