In addition to being one of the loveliest, little tattoos are the most tasteful (and covert) method to expand your ink collection. A selection of stylish minimalist tattoo designs is the ideal method to guarantee that your ink never goes out of style, whether it’s a little heart tattoo hidden on your wrist, a single needle etching on the back of your elbow, or a tiny ink on your ribcage.

A-list tattoo artist Mira Mariah, aka GirlKnewYork, who created Ariana’s iconic moon hand tattoo, says she prefers little tattoos because they’re more manageable and have a jewelry-like quality. A tiny tattoo may resemble a piece of jewelry. Little phrases like “please” and “thank you” are cute and playful. I make a lot of little eyes, stars, and glitter.

A-list celebrities also find them attractive; Hailey Bieber’s ring finger’s ‘J’ is a constant tribute to her husband, Justin. Bella Hadid adorns her arm with a dainty rose, while model Kaia Gerber has a classic anatomical heart.
