When we think about tattoos, body parts like arms, legs, backs, hands, and feet come to mind, but ears? Not so much.
Of all the places on my body I’ve wanted to tat up, that’s always been pretty much the last spot I’ve considered. However, seeing the way creative designs make ears look so delicate and beautiful has definitely made me change my tune — and it’ll probably change yours as well.
Don’t be surprised if you suddenly get the urge to add ink to your ears, because these 19 unique tattoos are so cool that they’ll inspire you to get one of your own.
