Ok, real talk: I’m a tattoo virgin. My pasty skin, never touched by ink’s sweet embrace, knows not of the pain, the pride and the dedication of tattoos. But it, like, totally wants one and would def get one …maybe, someday.
If, like me, you’re in love with the idea of tattoos, but may be a little hesitant to ink up, check out these cute ten tats and use them as some inspiration and a stepping stone to that mad sleeve you always wanted.

Geometric critters
As a crazy cat lady, I can think of no greater use of my skin than to cover it with kitty portraits. However, I understand some people may have reservations regarding this, so maybe a tiny animal portrait is the go for you. Geometric is clean and interesting, and no one does geometric animals better than moganji.

Punctuated limbs
As a word nerd myself, these ones really speak to me, and there’s nothing prettier than punctuation. Pick a beautiful font and maybe one of these badboys ‘&’ and you have a gorgeous little keepsake to connect you to the written word. Check out the work of banul for more tiny tattoo inspiration.
