Not so long ago, it was quite rare to see ear tattoos, but nowadays, a lot of people get them tattooed to show off who they are. They’re certainly not for everyone, but those who end up receiving them often want to make sure that everyone who sees them has a clear understanding of the kind of people they’re simply looking at their designs for.
Below you will find information about ear tattoos, including some of the most popular designs you may have drawn there.
On a small and sensitive area of the body, ear tattoos are generally very subtle and simple. You usually won’t find intricate lines or extremely large tattoos around the ears, although sometimes you will find extremely interesting designs that look best around the ear area. Just keep in mind that if you’re interested in getting an ear tattoo, that’s usually the area where you’d rather have simpler shapes.
The space around the ear doesn’t allow for much detail or complexity, so the images chosen are often creative and personal. Images or icon sets often tell a story about who the owner is or who they want to be, without having to go through complicated steps.
In fact, some of these smaller ear tattoos can tell more stories than larger designs can. Of course, these ear tattoos are much more public so it makes sense that they have this added effect.
Earrings are often associated with images because of the popularity of earrings. They can be used to enhance the selected design and add another element to the tattoo. If you decide to go this route, you’ll want to make sure that the design will work well even without the earrings you’re wearing because there might come a day when you’re no longer in that style and you want self-functioning tattoo.
Because the ear is an obvious symbol of hearing and sound, the images and signs of sounds and sounds represent memories that are meaningful to the individual. The image on the ear also gives the impression that the design is representative of what is in the individual’s mind.
The image can be placed on the inner cartilage of the ear or just behind the ear, making it less visible in certain cases. This is a great way to have something personal tattooed on you without having to share it with anyone.
