Aesthetically, minimalism appeals to many modern women in everything from fashion to home decor to tattoos.
Minimalist tattoo designs can be any size, but many are small. You will often see this style in wrist, ankle or behind the ear tattoos. They can be made with bold lines or may have a delicate look. The tattoo could be a simple line drawing or a series of bold, yet simple geometric shapes.
Whichever style appeals to you, try to choose a design that is clearly recognizable, even with simple lines and shapes.
