Small tattoos are becoming even popular than ever, and more and more people are taking the plunge and going for sweet scripts and dainty designs. Not only are they cheaper than larger tattoos, but they’re also more subtle and suit those who don’t necessarily want their whole body to be covered.

But with so many options of what to get and where to get it, it’s easy to become overwhelmed with tattoo ideas. From your wrist, finger, forearm, foot, ribcage, the back of your neck, and even your ear to many celeb-approved inspirations, we’ve got you covered.

Sifting the wheat from the chaff, our Fashion Editor has gone through and rounded up the best flower, symbol, minimalist line art, and meaningful word designs for women on Pinterest right now.

Small tattoos

How about this super cute moon and planet design?

This behind-the-ear botanical design is all kinds of cool.

Here’s one for the ribcage tattoo fans.

Ooo how about this tiny wrist tattoo idea for your and your girls?

Another versatile option: this sun outline on the back of the neck.

Totally here for this lotus line art btw.

If you’re not as much into flowers, how about this paper plane design?

Whatever quote or phrase you decide to get inked, this script design is so dainty.

You don’t always have to go with the classic black ink when it comes to small tattoos. This small red butterfly is so pretty, and if you’re after something a bit more subtle, this is the design for you.

Need to remind yourself to love yourself? This tattoo will do exactly that and also look super cute wherever you place it.

Fancy a spin on the classic infinity symbol design? Why not incorporate a fine line rose like this tattoo?

How about a few small tattoo ideas to choose from? We love the placement of these delicate designs, as they’d look just as cute on their own. We’re especially loving the little fan. So. Cool.

Buzzing for this bumblebee on the inside of the arm.

Love is love, made even better in rainbow hues.

This is probably the subtlest tatt so far, with two simple dashes on the outside of the wrist.

This would make the perfect matching best friend idea, just sayin’.

Whether you’re into Bowie or Harry Potter, this cute little lightning bolt will add a spark to your small tattoo collection.

This Scorpio design is definitely for those who want an edgier ink but still want to go small and discreet.

This minimalist rose tattoo looks perfectly understated on the forearm.

Dainty finger tattoos are becoming more and more popular. From Hailey Bieber’s classy line and dot work to Miley’s edgier symbols, there are lots of designs to choose from.

Snake inks are all the rage, and we can see why. They’re super cute, and work so well as tattoos, especially when they’re inked daintily, like this one.

A heart outline on the foot will sit perfectly underneath socks if you want to keep your tattoo hidden at work.

Obsessed with this. Great location too.

<3 this, literally.

Sometimes less is more, and this cross style is a case in point.

Well, ain’t this cute?

Another behind-the-ear option features a stand-out moon outline.

More flowers, but this time with coloured sprigs of lavender.

Both of these ideas are a yes from us. The lotus flower in the bottom image symbolises purity, enlightenment, self-regeneration, and rebirth, and is a perfect reminder to be kind to yourself.

Rainbow ear ink-spo, anyone?

You could even look for a finger design that blends in with your rings if you’re after something subtler.

Very into this cheeky look.

Not sure what to get? How about your birth year in simple, classic characters?

Beach babes, look no further than this wave one.

These are even daintier again.
