Underboob tattoos are so graceful, especially if they follow the natural curves of the body. In this piece, the sweep of the flowers upwards adds to this aesthetic. What’s also nice about this placement is that although this isn’t necessarily a small tattoo, it’s completely hidden. It’s like your personal secret, available for others to see…By Invitation Only

As you can see in this tattoo, the flower is oriented from the perspective of the viewer. This is the more commonly seen orientation. I love the shading in this piece which adds so much dimension, even to the stem. Additional aesthetic interest is created by curving the stem and angling the petals towards the client’s body. Little details like these can make all the difference in a design.

I love watercolor tattoos and their gentle vibe, often due to the pretty pastel palette that’s employed. Although with watercolor style we often see drips of color, here the artist adds the color in a very precise manner. Even the tiniest white highlights are inked with beautiful precision. And for this lucky client, this is a bouquet she’ll have forever by her side.

You’ve got to have a special bond to get matching tattoos, as it definitely implies a closeness and the belief in a lifelong connection. These are matching Small Flower tattoos but the one on the right looks slightly larger. It also looks like it was more recently done as evidenced by the darker ink. It’s always important to remember that with many of these minimal tattoos, that there will be fading. For that reason, it’s important to ask your artist to make the lines a little heavier if you want to avoid that from occurring.

Here’s another tattoo done in minimal cartoon style but from a different artist. I think this one, even more so, looks like an illustration from a children’s book. As we mentioned, 2D is the goal with this style, so the shading, contrast and light sources associated with 3D are intentionally not included.

Although not minimalist like some of the previous tattoos on our list, this piece is still definitely ultra feminine. I like how it’s linear and extends above the ankle onto the calf. That, along with the touches of darker ink, make this piece very sophisticated. Indeed

This tattoo has elements similar to the last one, especially those clean, thin black lines. The previous one though, makes greater use of negative or uninked space. If you scroll back, you can really see the impact that this has on the overall aesthetic of that piece. Regardless, this small tattoo looks perfect over the biceps and is scaled perfectly for the slim contours of the client’s arm.

This is such a pretty piece. The hint of color, along with the white ink, really make this tattoo quite sophisticated. It’s placement right at the midline also serves to draw the eye in, creating a focal point. This is a case where ink/tattooing really does enhance the natural beauty of the body.

Often with minimalist designs, only black ink is used, but of course color can be added to the mix as seen here. With this style there’s also the incorporation of considerable empty or negative space.. This allows for a connection among and between the images without the addition of any additional detailing. Although we have three separate images here, their connection is obvious; it’s a sunny day with the scent of flowers in the air.

This tattoo looks like a gentle breeze blew a Small Flower onto the client’s arm. It looks so real that you might be tempted to lift it off. With realistic style there’s always attention to proportions, sources of light and the asymmetry seen in nature. 3D is then created with the skillful use of shading and contrast. All this has obviously been successfully brought together in this beautiful piece.

A Small Flower, a butterfly and a heart go a long way in creating a delicate, feminine tattoo. I am concerned though that the colors here are so light that there’s bound to be fading in the future, especially of the heart. Of course this would necessitate the need for touch-ups, something worth considering.

In comparison with the previous tattoo, you can see how well packed the ink is in this piece. The green, the purple and the yellow aren’t likely to significantly fade in the future. It’s important to discuss this with your artist before actually getting your tattoo.

There’s so much movement in this tattoo despite its small size. That’s achieved by the curved lines of the multiple stems. The flowers are also placed at different angles adding to this sense of movement and life. A small but important note is how the tip of the lower stem exquisitely highlights the wrist and looks like…Absolute Perfection

Illustrative style is characterized by color and 2D. This results in images that are often seen as being concrete, perhaps like what you might find in a children’s book. Like illustrations! Seems like this client has found her style as evidenced by the other piece she has.
