I still remember how I felt before getting my first tattoo. I was anxious and constantly thinking if I was going to regret it in a few years.
However, I decided to choose a subtle design for my first tattoo and all I can say is that almost 10 years later, I’m still obsessed with it!
Going with a dainty design is a good idea because you still don’t know what’s your pain tolerance and getting a tattoo as subtle as these ones won’t hurt as much. Besides that, covering a small simple tattoo is much easier if you decide to do that later on.
Therefore, let me show you some cute tattoos you could get!
1. Tiny Flower Tattoo
Something that will always look cute and beautiful is a small tattoo of any flower. Just pick the flower you like the most and tattoo it anywhere on your body!
2. Subtle Wings Tattoo
Subtle wings like these ones are another cute idea you can recreate. The design couldn’t be more simple and minimalistic!
3. Simple Quote Tattoo
Many people decide to get a quote tattoo for the first time. You can think of a quote or part of song lyrics you like and get a tattoo of that. Just make sure it’s not something that’ll make you cringe in a few years like “Live, love, laugh”!
4. Fine-Line Butterflies Tattoo
Sweet little butterflies – let’s be real, you can never go wrong with them. They’ll always look cute, and they’re also meaningful! That’s a win-win for sure.
5. Simple Snake Tattoo
Snakes are also a good choice for a first tattoo. They represent changes, big transformation, and rebirth. Besides that, they look really edgy and cool.
6. Minimalistic Ankle Tattoo
Getting a first tattoo near the ankle is a great idea! It’s pretty tiny and simple and you can easily cover it whenever you want so it’s not visible all the time.
7. Simple Ornamental Tattoo
Ornamental tattoos are beautiful and I’m pretty sure they will never go out of fashion. You can get something really simple and adorn some part of your body with cute ornamental details.
8. Small Paw Prints Tattoo
Most of the people want their first tattoo to be something meaningful. So, if you have a pet and want to remember them forever, getting a tattoo of small paw prints is a really sweet idea!
9. Behind The Ear Stars Tattoo
If you want a tattoo you can easily hide, getting a tattoo behind you ear might be a good idea. It will basically only be visible when you wear your hair up so it’s perfect! Besides that, star tattoos will always be popular!
10. Dainty Evil Eye Tattoo
Another very subtle placement is the back of your neck. Same as a tattoo behind the ear, this will only be visible when your hair is not getting in the way of it. This subtle evil eye tattoo is surely a great choice!
11. Saturn Tattoo
If you believe planetary aspects have a strong influence on your life, this small, subtle piece will steal your heart. Saturn signifies structure and discipline, stars represent guidance and hope and the comet symbolizes fleeting beauty and change. Cool, right?
12. Small Cat Tattoo
This is the perfect first tattoo for cat lovers–minimalistic but surprisingly expressive. The cat’s eyes are so lively and the tat is absolutely adorable. I’m sure you’ll want to get it ASAP.
