Though tattoos the size of a baby make a statement, some of the neatest tats are barely bigger than a quarter.

Seattle-based photographer Austin Tott recognizes the simple beauty of small, delicate body ink in his series "Tiny Tattoos."

Tott's neatly composed photographs show off a series of small wrist tattoos of seemingly mundane items, and pairs each tattoo with its real-life counterpart.

Tott told Mashable that there was no "big, deep meaning" behind the series. Rather, he just set out to make something purely fun and entertaining.

"I had a Pinterest board of tattoos and I kept finding myself attracted to the tiny ones the most," he said. "I do a lot of conceptual photography which tends to be more elaborate so I wanted to do something stripped down and simple."

More of Tott's work is available on at his website and on Flickr.
