Smaller designs can take as little as a few minutes, possibly ten minutes. But you can plan on being at the shop for an hour or two. It's always a good idea to not give the tattoo artist too much time restraints on when you need to get out by. So give the tattoo artist a little bit of time. Usually, it takes longer to set up for smaller tattoos than to finish them.
