Even though this might be the year of piercings, don’t count tattoos out just yet. At least not until you see these amazing ideas. Have you ever thought of getting an ear tattoo?
Well, once you see these stunning designs you may run to get one of your own. They’re so cute and subtle that virtually anyone can pull them off.
1. Four-Leaf Clover Tattoo
See what I mean when I said subtle? Isn’t this four-leaf clover ear tattoo so simple yet super cute? I love this idea.
2. Side Ear Tattoo
And how about this side ear tattoo idea? This is so unique. I’ve actually never seen anyone with this type of design. This is so awesome.
3. Eye Tattoo
It may seem weird to have an eye tattoo inside of your ear but somehow I think it works. What do you think of this idea?
4. Flower Tattoo
Flower tattoos are already so pretty but getting it on your ear is even better. And you can easily cover it up with your hair if needed.
5. Dotted Tattoo
Talk about a unique tattoo design here. I love the dotted technique already but seeing it in an ear tattoo design like this is really impressive.
6. Moon Tattoo
If you’re into the celestial type of tattoo designs this really simple moon tattoo may appeal to you. I might actually get something like this myself.
7. Leaf Tattoo
If you’re looking for something just a little bit extra why not go for a design like this? It’s definitely growing on me. Get it? Hee, hee.
8. Heart Tattoo
Again, this little heart ear tattoo is perfectly subtle but so sweet and feminine. I dig this idea as much as the little moon. So cute.
9. Lavender Tattoo
Show off your love of lavender with this neat ear vine tattoo. This is pretty much the perfect location for this type of flower tattoo.
10. Spider Web Tattoo
I dunno if anyone wants a spider web growing out of their ear but nonetheless this is a cool idea. Ha, ha. It’s pretty interesting. Isn’t it?
11. Lines Tattoo
Talk about a simple yet creative design. Just a few lines on your ear is all you need. I think it’s still a pretty unique and fun ear tattoo.
12. Inner Ear Design Tattoo
I think this inner ear design is such a cool idea. I really dig this black and white style tattoo. It’s pretty and fun.
13. Pretty Dotted Design Tattoo
I love this ear tattoo because it starts off bigger and gets smaller as it goes. It works perfectly with the shape of the ear.
14. Purple Flower Tattoo
I really love the color purple so this super cute purple flower ear tattoo really appeals to me. It’s like an elaborate permanent earring.
15. Black And White Ear Tattoo
I’ve already mentioned that I really dig the dotting tattoo technique and this ear tattoo displays it in such an interesting way.
16. Dotted Leaf Tattoo
And again, the dotted technique as a leaf design in this tattoo. This one looks like it’s literally growing in and out of her ear. So amazing.
17. Ear Plant Tattoo
It seems that plants, leaves, and flowers are the perfect ideas for an ear tattoo. They shape the area so well and look just like jewelry.
18. Bold Ear Tattoo
If you’re looking for something a little bit bolder this awesome tattoo may have your name on it. Why not go bold or go home?
19. Hand Poke Tattoo
Apparently, this tattoo was done by poking the ink into the skin using a needle attached to a stick. Sounds painful but I guess worth it.
20. Flower Petals Tattoo
For those who don’t want to commit to a full flower tattoo, you can add a little color to your ear with this.
21. Small Inner Ear Tattoo
It’s amazing how a simple design like this can look so pretty at the same time. No elaborate designs here, just great line work.
22. Single Note Ear Tattoo
Simplicity for the win here. Just a single note — that’s all! Just like the tiny heart or tiny moon or tiny star. They’re all so cute.
You know I don’t think I would have ever considered an ear tattoo before I had seen these designs.

But now I totally love this idea. They’re so pretty and cool.
