People are always looking for that new tattoo that people will be wowed by. Something people don’t see everyday. For those people looking for a unique tattoo, I suggest not to think so much about a unique design, instead try a unique placement, like your tooth.

Tooth tattoos are small custom designs put on a crown by a dental lab with a staining process and then said crown is put in place by your dentist for a cost of $75 – $300. Designs while small are chosen by you 100 percent. Along with the size you also choose tattoo placement, what side of the tooth and what tooth it goes on.
