With the ever-increasing popularity of tattoos, I try to regularly provide you with inspiration and current ideas regarding different parts of the body and various designs. So, today I decided to focus on a relevant topic, namely the tattoo behind the ear. If you are interested, I invite you to discover the most requested models and designs in this area.
Zoom in on the most beautiful discreet tattoos in the area behind the ear
Tattoo behind the ear
I guess before you consider my suggestions, you’ll want to know what to really expect when you dare to get a tattoo in this location. Truth be told, the prognosis regarding pain in this area is not very optimistic.
A painful location for most people, but obviously worth it.
Since this part is quite sensitive and has lots of nerve endings, it is definitely a more painful location than many other parts. However, if you are brave enough, here are the star designs of the moment.
Minimalist and slim line designs dictate current trends
Flower in ear tattoo for women
For sure, flowers are one of the most popular tattoo designs for women. And the experts at Allure confirm that a small floral design behind the ear would be very suitable for a discreet and aesthetic tattoo. Daisy, lily of the valley, poppy, dandelion – you can choose your favorite species, taking into account its special meaning.
Flowers are one of the most popular motifs in this area.
Rose tattoo
Speaking of flower tattoos, I almost feel compelled to say a few concrete words about the rose, as the queen of flowers drawn on the skin. Usually, it symbolizes passion and love, but also strength and resilience as well as renewal and transformation.
Pink, in particular, is a real star.
Travel tattoo idea
Are there any adventure fans among you, like me? If the answer is yes, I am sure that you will like the idea of treating yourself with a travel tattoo. In this category, the drawing of a small plane is undoubtedly the most requested variant. Take the model below as an example. It is super soft and discreet, made in fine lines. In terms of meaning, the plane is certainly associated with travel, freedom and changes. In addition, it can represent a remote connection that goes beyond geographical limits.
Snake drawing
If you like bold and symbolic details, the snake is definitely a very popular choice to consider. According to Lal Hardy, a famous British tattoo artist, “the snake is an iconic motif with rich meaning that ranges from temptation to healing, immortality, transformation to wisdom and protection.”
Bold, yet discreet and very stylish tattoo idea
Star tattoo behind ear
Looking for a romantic, stylish and symbolic design? Then I suggest star tattoos. In principle, these models are made with fine lines and are distinguished by their elegant and minimalist appearance. In addition, stars are typically associated with protection, success and hope.
Moon tattoo idea for women
In the context of celestial bodies, I would like to draw your attention also to moon tattoos. Here again, depending on your preferences, you can opt for a minimalist or more complex design. As for its meaning, the moon usually symbolizes mystery, transformation, the cycle of life, feminine energy and many other things.
Imitation earring/pendant design
Like the bracelet tattoo, the ear area gives us the opportunity to experiment with a jewelry-like design. This is a very artistic and surprising option. The flower pendant model in the photo below is such an inspiring example of a very creative and fascinating achievement.
A design that impresses
Discreet tattoo behind ear with initial
If you are looking for ideas for a discreet and minimalist design, initial tattoos are another great alternative. With their simplicity and usually small size, initials turn out to be a personal design and very popular with fans of minimalist models. The initial, on the other hand, can represent an important word, the name of a loved one, etc.
The minimalist heart is another very popular variation.
