It’s that time of year again. That’s right, we’re showcasing the best of the best from 2021. This year, there were some seriously stellar tattoos created by talented tattoo artists from around the world. And without a doubt, one of the biggest categories was micro. We’ve compiled a list highlighting the best micro tattoos, showcasing incredible artistry and creativity in the smallest of designs.
Micro tattoos continued to dominate in 2021 and based on the excellent work created, we can see why.
