They can usually make a tattoo pretty small, but they can only do it to a certain point because if they make it too small, it'll blotch & look really bad so every tattoo has to have a medium.


If you're asking a cross with lettering/numbers, they're gonna have to do it kind of big. Not completely huge, not tiny either because again, the lettering will smudge & blotch together & it'll look bad.


I think your best bet is to talk to a tattoo artist because they're really the ones who can help you better than us here. We're not the professionals, they are, so they're the ones you need to get into contact with.


Also, make sure you go somewhere clean. If they open nothing in front of you & don't explain the process or the aftercare, leave. Places like are potentionally dirty & you don't wanna be tattooed there. If it helps, try googling the top 10 best parlors in your city. Or if you have friends/family with tattoos, ask some of them because they'll know who's good & who isn't.

What was important to him? Music? Cars? Was there a trip you guys took? Incorporate that. For instance if he liked to play the guitar, get a guitar or a music note. Something really simple and understated. It doesnt have to have a name on it or writing. And when people ask about it, it will give you something good to talk about. Sometimes the best way of honoring someone's memory is talking about it to perfect strangers and friends

Try drawing or having someone draw the tattoo design and show it to the tattoo artist he/she should be able to scale the size and quote the price for you.
