Image Credits

Small Marks uses original editorial visuals, licensed stock, public-domain material, or images shared with permission. When a third-party credit or licence is required, it appears with the image or in the relevant article.

Editorial tattoo references

Many images are made to compare motif, scale, flow, contrast, or placement on an adult body. Digital concept images and placement studies are illustrative. They are not documented client tattoos, proof of healed results, or a tattoo artist’s portfolio.

How to use the images

Use an image to explain what you like about a direction, then let your artist redraw it for your body and placement. Do not present a Small Marks image, or another artist’s tattoo, as finished art to copy exactly.

Credits and corrections

If you believe a credit is missing, a licence is described incorrectly, or an image should be reviewed, send the page URL and image details through the Contact page. Small Marks will review the source and correct or remove material when appropriate.
