Ear tattoos are becoming a hot trend, providing a fresh and unique alternative to traditional earrings. These intricate designs offer a permanent and stylish way to adorn your ears, often making a more striking statement than even the fanciest earrings. Whether you prefer delicate patterns or bold designs, ear tattoos can reflect your personality and enhance your overall look.
1. Butterfly
If you’re experiencing a period of change, consider getting a butterfly tattoo. Butterflies are often seen as symbols of transformation and change. A great placement for this tattoo is behind the ear, where two small butterflies in flight can look especially charming.
2. Barbed Madness
Berlin-based tattoo artist Sagflap designed a barbed wire tattoo that spans the face, ear, and neck of a client. The intricate, net-like design stretches from the sideburns to the jawline, covering the entire scapha and earlobe. The tattoo extends behind the ear and finishes halfway down the neck.
3. Snake
If you’re captivated by snakes, think about getting a tattoo of one behind your ear. Snakes are often associated with fertility or change, making them a meaningful choice for body art. This specific design with a gradient snake looks really cool, almost as if the snake is whispering into the ear.
4. Star Studded
This ink design by Sagflap features a pattern of stars that extends across the scapha, lobe, and a portion of the cartilage of the ear. Each star in the design is unique, with varying line thicknesses that add to the visual appeal when examined up close.
5. Star
Stars carry both symbolic and aesthetic appeal. While they traditionally represent guidance and safeguarding, they also boast a visually striking appearance. Positioned behind the ear, a minimalist star outline exudes elegance and delicacy, adding a touch of chicness to one’s look.
6. Blue Swirls on the Whole Ear
The hypnotic designs don’t follow a specific pattern, with vibrant blue lines swirling around the ear, even extending behind it.
7. Musical Heart
Jessie J, known for her formidable vocal prowess, showcases her passion for music through a distinctive tattoo located behind her ear. Taking inspiration from musical elements, she has crafted a heart-shaped design using music notes, showcasing her deep connection to the art form.
8. A Rose Behind the Ear
Putting a tattoo behind the ear offers a discreet option. Weldon designed a rose for a customer who preferred a subtle design that wouldn’t dominate the area.
9. Let It Flow
Berlin-based artist María Palomino Sedze, also known as Lady Marion, demonstrates through her work that ear tattoos have limitless possibilities. In her latest creation, she aimed to depict the concept of energy flow by designing angled shapes reminiscent of circuit lines.
10. Leaves Around the Ear
Create a tattoo design that incorporates both the ear and the surrounding area, similar to what Labarca did with a snowflake-shaped piece and a vine that wraps around the bottom half of the ear, using dot work technique.
