Minimalist tattoos: 7 minimalist tattoo ideas for women
Would you like to get a tattoo , but don’t want to be marked for life? Do you want a tattoo that’s discreet, fine and delicate? This article was written for you. It features ideas for minimalist tattoos for women.
We’ve long known about the thick, colorful tattoos that were once reserved for bad boys, but today this vision of tattooing has evolved. There are now different styles such as realism, old school, new schoolor even minimalism and lineart which we’ll cover in this article.
Indeed, minimalist tattoos have been on the rise for some years now. Chic and discreet, they’re perfect as a first tattoo. From tiny to maxi minimalist tattoos, they come in many different sizes, colors and designs. This trend for minimalist tattoos continues into 2023, which is why Bernard decided to write this article: to give you 7 ideas for minimalist tattoos for women (or not, for that matter).
A luminous tattoo : the minimalist sun
This tattoo is perfect if you’re a sunny person full of joie de vivre. You can choose from a wide range of designs and styles. You’re free to choose the position of the design, but it’s often applied to the arm, ankle, wrist or ribs.
If you’re keen to get a symbolic tattoo, we suggest you read on.
As you know, the sun is a source of light. So, for some people, this tattoo is symbolic of hope, while for others, it represents the “good times” after the storm. Either way, this tattoo has a rather positive meaning.
If you don’t dare go under a tattooist’sneedle just yet, don’t worry. Bernard offers you an temporary alternative to this motif on our Not so long board, in collaboration with Samuel Eckert.
The minimalist butterfly tattoo
Do you like to feel free and independent? Then there’s no doubt about it, this tattoo design will suit you perfectly. Just like the sun, you can get this motif tattooed in a variety of styles and colors. Butterfly tattoos are most often found on wrists, ribs, behind the ears and on the arms.
This tattoo motif is very much on trend this season, and is likely to become one of the timeless tattoos. Butterflies, no matter what color or style you get them in, represent new beginnings, hope and love.
For the temporary tattoo alternative, we suggest our wild summer and flush-to-skin boards, featuring some very pretty butterflies.
Minimalist floral tattoos
Flowers are now timeless tattoosthat will never go out of fashion, no matter what age or era you live in. There’s no particular meaning to floral motifs, but you can always learn about the language of flowers to give meaning to your tattoo.
Whether on the collarbone, behind the ear or under the breast, you’ll always find a place to adopt this pretty tattoo. Colored or done inblack tattoo ink, floral tatoos are sure to please.
If you fell in love with the floral tattoo of the previous model, we’re sure you’ll love our “little wild flowers” board created in collaboration with Eva Edelstein.
Minimalist phrases
Some people see tattooing as therapy.
So what better way to express your feelings than in words?
If you have a quote, word or phrase close to your heart, this pattern is ideal for you. It’s a way of expressing how you feel, or paying tribute to someone you admire or appreciate.
This type of tattoo is most often done on the arm just above the elbow. But depending on the size and length of your word, you can change the layout to make it as beautiful as possible.
As with our other tattoos, Bernard offers a temporary alternative to these mini-sentences. You can find these temporary tattoos on our boards “eye love you” in collaboration with Jonesie and “violence and love” illustrated by tattoo artist Jean André.
Dates in Arabic numerals
If you’ve got a special date, an event you’d like to etch in your skin forever, you’ll love this design. This tattoo, usually in black or redink, is perfect for engraving a key moment in your life forever, or for remembering a loved one, for example.
Like word tattoos, these are usually applied to the arm just above the elbow, but can also be applied to the ankle or wrist. Word and date tattoos are complementary, so you can combine the two to give your tattoo even more meaning.
A faithful companion? Pay tribute with a minimalist tattoo
This tattoo is ideal for fans of dogs, cats or any other animal. In fact, this motif is both versatile and unique, since your tattooist can reproduce the contours of your pet’s ears, for example, as faithfully as possible.
You can get this tattoo if you want to please your little fur ball, or pay tribute to him as a star.
Our Grrr! board, designed by Marion Billet, puts them in the spotlight for a cure of cuteness!
Your favorite work of art in your skin
Even if tattooing is already considered an art in itself, this is even more obvious when tattoo artists reproduce the works of art of great artists in miniature. Indeed, some tattoo artists are able to reproduce and sometimes even revisit certain works of art in the style of the original artist.
So, if you’re a fan of art in general and want to engrave this passion in your skin, it’s now possible. All you need to do is find the right tattoo artist to make sure you don’t end up with a Picasso when you wanted a Van Gogh.
