The INSIDER Summary

• The helix of the ear has become the trendy body part for dainty tattoos.
• Let out your inner flower child and get vines or florals.
• For a minimalist tattoo, stick with geometric lines. 

Getting a little ink has never been more fashionable! For millennial women, dainty piercings and tiny tattoos have gone from taboo to all over our Instagram feeds. And they’re not just limited to wrists and ankles; delicate designs on the helix of the ear are the latest trend we can’t get enough of. Scroll on for the best helix tattoos we’ve seen so far.

1. Leafy vines

Add some inky black botanicals to your outer ear for the fantastical, flora effect. We love the additional lobe blooms too.

2. Floral climber

Whether lupine, violet, or rose, your ear will look adorbs with a tiny flower adorning the helix. 

3. Classic double cuff

Swap out a petite metal earring for a simple, delicate double ear cuff. It’s like jewelry you never have to take off.

4. Monogram

 This sweet initial tatt is a must-try upgrade on a monogram. Keep it classy in cursive or go for a unique block print.
