35 Epic Ear Tattoos
Would you get an ear tattoo?
These days, almost every part of the body can be tattooed. We’ve seen tons of tattoos in peculiar and uncommon places, such as the roof of the mouth, soles of the feet and plenty of unmentionable areas. But, one of the fastest growing trends of the past few years has been ear tattoos.
Like many popular tattoo trends of the last decade, you can thank celebrities for the rise in popularity in this one. Many stars have jumped on the ear tattoo bandwagon, notable Cara Delevingne, Miley Cyrus and Rihanna. This has made the trend very popular among artists around the world and we’ve seen tons of bold ear ornaments crop up over time.
Ear tattoos are something that can be very small and delicate, resembling an ear piercing. However, they also have the potential to be exceptionally bold and in your face. It all depends on what direction you choose to go in! We’ve seen plenty of styles executed on the ears, including fine-line, color or black work.
Take a look at 35 of our favorite epic ear tattoos in the gallery below. These tattoos come from talented tattooers around the world and they’re seriously spectacular. Then let us know if you’d get an ear tattoo in the comments section on social media.
