Ear Tattoos

Tattoo trends come and go over the years and it is always interesting to see what the next tattoo trend will be. Here lately it seems that the latest tattoo trends seem to be geared more towards woman. Maybe it's because woman are tending to get more tattoos these days than men. In any case woman are constantly coming up with unique ways to have a tattoo but also have it in a place where it can be covered up if need be. The most popular tattoo location for woman hands down is the lower back. This location is very easy to cover up and it is also sexy. However, a new trend is emerging for women. The new trend is to have a tattoo on your ear or behind your ear.

Ear tattoos are slowly starting to gain popularity among women. This location is great because if you have long hair or hair that is long enough to put behind your ear the tattoo can be covered up. Depending on the design that the woman picks it can bring some feminine style as well as some sassiness to a woman. Believe it or not this small location is not limited to just a few tattoos. The tattoo design that can go there are limitless.

Also since the space on your ear and behind your ear is not that large the time it will take to get this done is rather short. However, it will more than likely be rather painful due to the fact that there is no fat to help cushion and absorb the pain from the tattoo. So it would probably not be advised for someone with low pain tolerance to get a tattoo there. But if you can muster the pain you will be very pleased with your new piece of body art on or behind your ear.

Many women are inking their bodies these days. Apart from finding the amazing and creative artwork, more women are now choosing unique body spots to ink, and behind the ear tattoos are becoming popular. Unlike the face tattoo, you can easily cover up the ear emblem with your long hair when you don't want to show it. If there is a concern about exposing your tattoo at the workplace or in school, this will be a good body spot to consider.



Tattoos in this area are usually small, but the designs can be very attractive. There are almost unlimited choices you can use for such a small area. You can have a feminine and cute design or tough and gothic style artwork. Some of the popular behind the ear tattoos for females are the astrological symbols, stars, birds, hearts, flowers, cartoons and butterflies. You can also consider to have someone's name permanently attached behind your ear to signify a close relationship.







Everyone has a different pain threshold. Some people find inking an ear tattoo is tolerable and hardly bled, while others find it painful as this area has less fat padding in between the skull bone and the skin. You may feel uncomfortable when the needles hit the bone. However, it is a very short process as behind the ear tattoos only occupy a very small space.







As ear tattoos will have more exposure to sunlight, you may want to cover your design with sun block lotion to prevent the symbol from changing color or fading. Since behind the ear tattoo is highly visible when you want to show it, you should find a design which impress you or has significance to you. For women who are on top of the latest fashion and tattoo trend, you can consider dying your hair, getting your nose pierced and having your behind ear inked.
