A tiny sprinkling of stars or laurel branch, demure fish or scattering of butterflies; there is no limit to the ways in which one’s ear can be rendered artful canvas.
An ear tattoo is an understated but nonetheless striking form of decoration, unassuming in its placement yet unforgettable once glimpsed. For those in more conservative professions or believers of the “less is more” principle an ear tattoo is a wonderful way to join the tattoo club without putting your membership on blast.
For thousands of years humans have adorned their ears with jewelry, henna, and permanent ink in the well-founded belief that no part of the body is undeserving of ornamentation. From delicate geometric designs to brightly colored flora & fauna, your ear tattoo can reflect your personal style in a clever manner that will make separate the discerning observer from the rest of crowd.
From the inner ear to surrounding space, your ear tattoo can be as big and bold or blink-and-you’ll-miss-it as you please, with no end in sight in terms of inspiration.
Constellations, hidden messages, esoteric characters and even beloved cartoon characters can be inked in small-scale detail, proof perhaps that the most beautiful works of art can often be found in the least likeliest of places.
