17 Spectacular Ear Tattoo Ideas for the Minimalist and the Daredevil
Ear tattoos at their finest - clean minimalism and solid designs.
The ear is one of the smallest and trickiest areas to get tattooed on. But that's what makes it also a ton more fun to experiment with — with all its curves on the lobes to the thin skin surrounding it. You're going to be having a lot of fun thinking about ways how to make such a small space more interesting.
