While choosing the best tattoo is simple for some, others have difficulties to pick the right one. It all depends on various elements: how big you want your tattoo to be, where you’ll place it, the color, and the design. So, if you are serious about getting one (or another one), and you’re thinking that it should be an ear tattoo, our examples should provide a lot of inspiration. Enjoy!

Keeping it simple

Three tiny tattoos inspired by the universe are a beautiful, and subtle option for an ear tattoo. A little moon, a little Saturn, and a small star make sure to keep the Milky Way close to you.

A bold, pink choice

The pink, floral tattoo, is an interesting choice. The artist has paid a lot of attention to details. It must have been difficult since the side of the ear is not a flat area.

A smiley face

What do you get when you draw two dots on top of your ear, and a curvy line inside the ear? When looking from the side – it’s a smile. We love the clever idea. It’ll probably put a smile on the face of any person who notices it.

The rose in ink

A beautiful rose surrounded by interesting piercing and an earring surely draw a lot of attention to this guy’s ear.

Keeping it blue

A bright-colored tattoo suddenly seems like an amazing idea, after seeing this girl’s ear with blue flowers tattooed in it.

A seahorse blowing bubbles

These fellows tend to inhabit calm waters. There’s a meaningful reason to choose this tattoo, maybe the person who wears it enjoys calm and quiet. Who doesn’t anyway?

The whisper of an angel

The placement of the tattoo is quite interesting. Imagine hearing melodies of angels playing the harp any time you want. The idea might sound unreal, but the tattoo is beautifully realistic.

Tattoo networking

Here is a web in the ear. Maybe it’s part of a bigger tattoo network? Or probably not, but it does look awesome.

Dots

You’ll hardly find a tattoo as simple, and yet as eye-catching as this one. What a clever example of a minimalistic body modification?!

This skull wants out

It’s a quite scary tattoo because it looks like it wants to escape the ear. Congratulations to the artist, though. He made it look horrifically realistic.

Tinker Bell now lives here!

It’s an adorable tattoo for all of us who will, deep down, always feel like children.

For music lovers

You’ll hardly find someone who doesn’t love music. With that in mind, this is probably the most universal tattoo that would suit anyone.

A strand of hair

It’s not actually the hair, but the tattoo is so well-placed and beautiful, that it reminds of a hair flying over the ear. Amazing work.

I believe I can fly

A beautiful wing tattoo with a lot of details. It somehow makes you feel optimistic and happy, right?

Leaves

We love the size and tastefulness of this simple tattoo. It’s so tiny, and yet it stands out perfectly.
