More than other small tattoo styles, cute tattoos, small cute tattoos often use a sense of humor and bright colors to express art on the body.

Popular design ideas include:

• Pet
• Animal
• Cartoon characters and cartoons
• Food
• Jewelry
• Emojis and stick figures

Just as the idea and design of a cute tattoo depends on the wearer and their personal style, the placement of a tattoo depends on the wearer’s sensibilities.

Places people choose to get tattoos include:

• fingers and hands
• Neck and behind the ears
• wrist
• lower legs, ankles and feet
• inner forearm and upper arm

For romantic couples, “matching tattoos” can mean classic his and hers, identical tattoos that express their love for each other. The design chosen can be a complete reflection of the other design, or it can be a male or female version of a particular design or something humorous for both.

However, cute little matching tattoos aren’t just for couples. There are families, groups of friends and organizations that wear matching tattoos as a symbol that identifies connection, friendship and camaraderie.
