Tattoos have existed for centuries. Whether they're big or small, or colorful or monochromatic, they're the perfect way to make a statement on your skin that will last forever. In the world of tattoos, artists have seen an uptick in recent years in requests for much daintier markings than the classic tattoos of yesteryear, per ABC. For those going under the needle for the first time, the dainty tattoo trend is the perfect place to start. You can easily choose to tuck the design away somewhere subtle like the inside of your ring finger or your ankle, or you can display them proudly on your collarbone or arm.
Tiny tattoos come in a variety of small shapes and sizes. Many people opt for something silly and fun, while others choose a subtle but meaningful representation of something important to them. Tons of celebrities have participated in the trend as well, with Ariana Grande, Hailey Beiber, and Miley Cyrus each bearing multiple miniature markings all over their skin (via InStyle). The tattoos make for an eye-catching piece, and there are tons of variations you can take into consideration when planning your own tiny tattoo.
New York tattoo artist Ruben Kravets tells InStyle, Dainty [micro-realism] tattoos are my absolute favorite, they're flawless. The small artwork allows me to include lots of details and gives a more vivid and strong impression of the tattoo owner's personality. For me, micro-realism is the art form that gives me the opportunity to continuously grow in my work as a tattoo artist. He cites behind the ear florals as a popular choice for the dainty micro-realism style. Kravets also notes that a subtle floral piece behind the ear is a great choice for a small but meaningful piece.
Argentines Have Tattoo Fever Following World Cup Triumph
Lettering has been a popular choice for tattoos for decades, and a daintier option allows for the tattoo wearer to choose a softer script as opposed to the big and bold fonts of yesteryear. Matching tattoos on a small scale have also been a popular choice.
You can pack tons of meaning into a tiny tattoo, and many artists love working on the intricate ink for their clients. Tattoo artist to the stars Mira Mariah, known for her work on Ariana Grande's hand tattoo, tells Elle, I really like small tattoos because they're a bit easier to commit too — they're really charming and feel like jewelry.
If you're thinking about adding a new tattoo to your collection or going under the needle for the first time, go for a tiny tattoo with tons of meaning. You definitely won't regret it.Welcome to the new decade! There’s been a lot of hype around this particular new year, perhaps because the past 10 years felt excruciatingly long and disorienting for many of us.
Sad Tattoos To Wear Your Heart On Your Sleeve
The 2010s were a cultural whirlwind. We saw the rise of Instagram, which changed the way we communicate and market ourselves. We saw young people prove that they
Change the world when they marched for their lives and striked to solve the climate crisis. There was even the election of Donald Trump—and then his impeachment. And a lot has happened in the world of tattoo over the past decade, too. We’ve seen tattoos go from a subcultural phenomenon to a mainstream form of art and self-expression. We’ve seen the popularization of styles like minimalism, micro-realism, and watercolor. And we’ve seen the growth of the tattoo community to include hubs around the globe, everywhere from New York to São Paulo, Berlin, and Seoul. But what’s next? What 2020 tattoo trends should we look forward to?
Over the past few months we’ve been scouring Instagram to come up with the 11 tattoo trends outlined below. Here’s what we expect to see in 2020.
What To Know Before Getting Finger Tattoos
During the 2010s, colorful tattoos took a back seat to black (and black and grey) designs when minimalism, single needle, and micro-realism tattoos rose in popularity. But color is back. In fact, it’s possible that you’ve already noticed colorful tattoos taking over your Instagram feed. If you have, expect to see even more this year since hypersaturated designs will likely be one of the biggest 2020 tattoo trends.
Looking for some artists to follow who specialize in colorful, hypersaturated designs? Some of our favorites are Zihee, a South Korean tattooer; Emma Anderson, co-owner of smallshop studio in Brooklyn; Chris Stockings, a UK-based Neo-Traditional artist; and Charline Bataille, the Montreal-based tattooer who describes their style as “queer propaganda” done in a “creepy-kitschy-cute” aesthetic.

People Share The Powerful Stories Behind Their Tattoos
Some of the most classic American Traditional tattoos designs—think: the heart with mom inscribed across it, the anchor, and the pin-up girl—date all the way back to the late 18th century, when sailors would get tattooed during their time at sea. But it wasn’t until the 1960s that these pieces gained wider popularity among countercultural groups like bikers and punks. It’s arguably the most classic style of tattoo; one that is deeply entrenched in the art form’s history. And because of that, it’s unlikely that American Traditional tattoos will ever go out of style. Nonetheless, some tattooers are experimenting with new, modern takes on American Traditional designs.
New Mexico’s Christopher Scott, for instance, combines the classic old school illustrative style with trippy designs. His pieces often fall somewhere between American Traditional and glitch. Other artists experimenting with the style include Philadelphia’s Henry Hablak and Dave (AKA Winston the Whale), resident at Portland’s Good Stuff Tattoo. Their new takes on the historic style have been gaining traction on Instagram as of late, something we believe will continue throughout 2020.

Of The Best Geek Tattoos
As tattoos have become mainstream, they’re naturally become more widely accepted as well, particularly in the workplace. Just a few years ago, having visible tattoos was considered a big no-no in most offices, but that’s since changed completely. Many workplaces now have updated policies that are inclusive of body art. Even police forces are relaxing their policies on officers with visible tattoos. And as a result of tattoos becoming more acceptable, there has been an increase in highly visible ink like neck, face, hand, and ear tattoos.
These placements will likely continue to attract tattoo lovers this year, so if you sense an increase in the number of people rocking neck tattoos or sets of finger ink, you shouldn’t be surprised.

Small Tattoo Ideas And Designs For 2021
When you think of temporary tattoos, you might imagine the cheap, press on stickers you wore as a child. But temporary ink has really upped its game since then. Two prominent temporary tattoo companies that have emerged over the past decade are Inkbox—which, full disclosure, is the driving force behind
—and Tattly. And thanks to the superior quality of these new temporary tats, we expect that this year you’ll be seeing a lot more of them.
Both companies also work with real tattoo artists on the designs they offer. Inkbox currently has collections with South Korean tattoo artist GOODMORNING; Inside Out studio resident artist, Curt Montgomery; and Montreal’s Marc Bonin; among others. Tattly, on the other hand, has collections with New York hand poke tattoo artist, Tea Leigh; Toronto-based tattooer, Jess Chen; and German artist Lara Maju.
Popular Tattoo Trends Of 2019 To Get The Best Designs
Side hustles aren’t exclusive to the tattoo community—in fact, according to a 2019 survey from Bankrate, nearly half (45 percent) of Americans have one. And increasingly, tattooers are joining that massive group of side hustlers. So if your favorite artists don’t work near you—and a trip to their locale isn’t in the cards right now—there might be other ways for you to support them and their art.
Mira Mariah, the tattooer better known as GirlKnewYork—she’s one of Ariana Grande’s go-to artists—regularly drops new merch, for instance. Curt Montgomery, resident artist at our very own Inside Out studio, occasionally illustrates for brands and publications. He even did the illustrations and cover art for Lili Reinhart’s forthcoming book of poetry. Then there’s French hand poke tattoo artist Estelle Dalgalarrondo who does embroidery work on the side. Picking up a side hustle (including selling merch) can be lucrative for artists, so it’s something more of them will likely start doing in 2020.
