7 Most Beautiful Ear Tattoos

Small but powerful – that can definitely be said about a tattoo on the ear! Here we show which beautiful motifs are possible in so little space!

Ear tattoo: Place and Motives

Tattoos have a long tradition, in the meantime body jewellery is often worn as an expression of personality. According to Statista, around 14 percent of Germans have a tattoo on their skin, ten percent even have several. Upper arm, calf, stomach or hands – there is probably no area that is not tattooed. Some are not afraid of tattoos in the mouth either! Not everyone can be enthusiastic about such a lip tattoo or a striking motif, for example on the forearm or neck. This is not necessary, after all the tattoo should fit the wearer!

If you want something minimalist or filigree, a tattoo on the ear is just what you need. The tattoo can be stitched in the auricle or at the helix, i.e. the thicker edge of the auricle, or something more hidden behind the ear (although this also works more strikingly!). We have collected some nice tattoos on your ear.
