Frequently asked

How discreet is a behind-ear tattoo?

Very — hair covers it when down. Shows when hair is tied back. The ultimate 'optional visibility' placement.

How painful is a behind-ear tattoo?

7/10. Thin skin close to skull means vibration is intense even though sessions are short.

What size works?

Small — 2–8cm typical. Single iconic motifs work best: stars, single character, small floral, sound waveform.
