Some women really want tattoos but are afraid they would ruin their elegant look. However, there are many tattoos that are so classy that they can only level your appearance up and be like the most stunning adornment on your skin.
Classy tattoos are all characterized by pretty simple linework designs most of which have a kind of flowy vibe and follow the natural curves of your body.
I gathered the 21 most elegant tattoos you could get so you don’t have to lose your time searching for a perfect design!
1. Classy Floral Shoulder Tattoo
This stunning floral tattoo extends so seamlessly from the shoulder to the upper arm making this design look beyond classy! The flowers add an additional touch of elegance and femininity.
2. Delicate Phoenix Tattoo
Phoenix tattoos always turn out really beautiful and this simple design is no exception! It looks really delicate with these fine, precise lines and let’s not forget that the phoenix tattoo also carries a beautiful meaning.
3. Dainty Rose Tattoo
Is there any flower more elegant than a rose? I don’t think so! That’s what makes it perfect for a classy tattoo, especially when designed to look so dainty.
4. Fine Line Elegant Tattoo
This tattoo does not only look classy, but it’s meaningful as well! I never saw a butterfly tattoo combined this way to depict both love for traveling, exploring, and a journey of growth and transformation.
5. Female Portrait With Botanical Elements Tattoo
There are so many things that are elegant about this tattoo – a woman hugging herself, flowers, butterflies… It has all the elements you could think of when someone mentions the word elegant.
6. Simple Script Tattoo
Script tattoos can turn out really classy if done well. This one is a perfect example since the quote is short, the font is elegant, and the placement is really good! Oh yeah, the message is also beautiful.
7. Classy Vine Tattoo
Flowy vine tattoos always look really beautiful on women, especially when they’re wrapped around some part of the body, like the arm in this case. It’s a delicate tattoo for a classy look.
8. Shoulder Wave Tattoo
The shoulder is a great placement for classy designs and this wave tattoo proves that! Some people choose to have a wave tattoo because they love summer and beaches, while others just like the peace that seeing waves brings to them.
8. Timeless Rose Tattoo
If I had to choose one tattoo that is timeless and will always look good, it would definitely be a rose tattoo. It’s a truly elegant flower that looks beautiful on everyone.
9. Ornamental Bracelet Tattoo
Bracelet tattoos as well as anklets are super classy! You can choose whatever design you like, but people generally opt for ornamental elements, flowy vines, or florals.
10. Single Line Earth Tattoo
A beautiful and simple Earth tattoo is all you need if you want something to represent a love for travel, nature, or even just a life journey. The straight line down the back could symbolize the life path of the person.
11. Abstract Flower Tattoo
I think this abstract flower looks absolutely gorgeous as a back tattoo! The flowy lines emphasize the elegance of it and make it look really classy.
12. Cute Butterflies Tattoo
You really thought a blog about tattoos could go without mentioning a butterfly tattoo? Well, what can we do, butterflies will always look cool and in style, just like roses! Without too much shading and colors, this design turned out amazing.
13. Flowers Arm Tattoo
Now seriously, flower tattoos are probably one of the classiest and most elegant tattoos you could have. Besides that, each flower is somehow symbolic and carries some meaning that makes it an even better choice for a tattoo.
14. Geometric Back Tattoo
Who would say a tattoo composed of only geometric shapes, lines, and dots could be so meaningful and also beautiful?! Each one of these geometric elements represents something, like unity, balance, harmony, and alignment.
15. Flying Bird Tattoo
Even though this design is simple, it’s rich in symbolism. Flying birds represent freedom, grace, and a personal journey towards something. I think the placement just below the collarbone is also perfect!
16. Dragonfly Ankle Tattoo
A dragonfly tattoo, similar to a butterfly, is often linked to transformation but also adaptability. It represents personal growth and the ability to navigate challenging situations.
17. Intricate Mandala Tattoo
A mandala tattoo is seen as a symbol of the whole universe and the balance of all the elements within it. These tattoos are usually very intricate with each tiny detail connected to another one, emphasizing the idea that everything is connected and part of something bigger.
18. Flowy Leaves Tattoo
If you don’t really want a vine tattoo that wraps around your arm but love the idea of something flowy, you could choose a design like this one. The precise lines and kind of abstract look give this tattoo a bit of mystery along with the classy vibe.
19. Elegant Swan Tattoo
If there is one animal that is known for being really graceful and elegant, then it must be a swan! So choosing a swan for a tattoo is a really good idea if you want something classy.
20. Red Abstract Tattoo
This unusual design seems to resemble a wisp of smoke flowing gracefully along the arm. The use of red ink gives it an even more special look and evokes associations with passion and emotions.
21. Star Constellation Spine Tattoo
Star constellations are such a beautiful concept, and it would almost be a shame not to get them tattooed. Wherever you choose to place them on your body, you can’t go much wrong, but this spine placement looks incredibly classy and will always attract looks whenever you decide to wear an open-back dress.
