70 Lovely Lesbian Tattoos

Tattoos for ladies who love ladies.

It’s Pride Month, and we’re celebrating lesbians worldwide. Like other members of the LGBTQ+ community, lesbians have faced oppression and discrimination for centuries. They have also been integral to the women’s movement, despite historical challenges. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, lesbians faced exclusion from some aspects of the women’s liberation movement, notably protested by activists like Betty Friedan, then president of The National Organization for Women. Friedan’s opposition led to the coining of the term “Lavender Menace,” sparking a pivotal protest at the Second Congress to Unite Women on May 1st, 1970. This event marked a turning point for second-wave feminism, embracing lesbian identity and lesbian feminism as crucial components of the movement. In celebration and solidarity, lesbians tattoos have become a powerful way for individuals to affirm their identity and history, honoring the struggles and triumphs of the lesbian community.

Over the last several decades, lesbians have made great strides in media representation. In 1997, Ellen DeGeneres made history when she publicly came out on the cover of Time Magazine and then again on her television series, “Ellen.” This was groundbreaking for the time and DeGeneres faced a lot of backlash, however, it certainly opened the doors for more lesbian-centered programming. In 2004, “The L Word” premiered on Showtime and featured television’s first ensemble cast of lesbian and bisexual women. The show ran for six seasons and gave rise to a reality show, “The Real L Word” and a sequel television series, “The L Word: Generation Q.” In the last twenty years, we’ve also seen a number of lesbian relationships positively portrayed on mainstream television shows, including “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Glee,” “Jane the Virgin,” “Orange Is the New Black,” “Riverdale,” “Euphoria” and “The Walking Dead.”

In honor of the lesbians of the past, present and future, take a look at 70 lovely lesbian tattoos. Then let us know your favorite tattoo from this list in the comments section on social media.
