Would a tattoo give you more motivation? ​Whether it be to take care of yourself, be kinder, chase your dreams, be healthier or follow your heart?

Not only are these tattoos super cute, but they also each have their own inspiring message and are the perfect way to express your values and stand out from the crowd.

Here are 10 of my fave motivational tattoos that will make you want to go under the needle, too...

1. Create yourself tattoo

There is nothing cooler than cropped jeans with a pair of on-trend trainers so why not take it to the next level with this "Create Yourself" tattoo? Simple and super inspiring, these words will remind your every day to be who you want to be and create the life you want. Obviously you'd need to sit crossed legged every morning to read it - but at least that would motivate you to do yoga! 

2. Warrior tattoo

The word warrior just makes me feel so empowered. Empowered to do a kick-ass workout, to tackle my to do list or to fight for something I believe in. The only problem with this tattoo is that it would make me want to go for a run or change the world every time I tried to chill out.

3. Serotonin tattoo

This is the chemical symbol for Serotonin, the neurotransmitter which influences mood, appetite and other body functions and is also linked to depression. Whether you see it as a reminder of chemistry class or a ridiculously cool way to subconsciously keep your feelings under control- it looks great!

4. Globe tattoo

This tattoo is so beautiful, it gives me serious wanderlust. What a great way to remind yourself that the world is so big and when we get caught up in our daily life stresses, it's important always zoom out and look at the bigger picture. You could personalise it to any part of the world you wanted. 

5. Marathon tattoo

If you've run a marathon, this is such a great way to mark the occasion. The marathon is an incredible achievement that takes drive and determination and this simple tattoo reminder would give you a little boost every time you looked at it. Then you can tick two things off your bucket list, a marathon and a tattoo! 

6. Mind over Matter tattoo

It all starts with your mind, especially when it comes to getting the motivation to workout. How many times have you had a conflict in your head when the alarm goes off at 6am for your morning HIIT session? With this tattoo you can simply look at the ink on your arm and you'll be out of the door in no time. 

7. Heart weights tattoo

Dedicate your tattoo to your love of lifting! Strong not skinny for life is definitely the mantra you'd say to yourself every day if you had this tattoo. And the heart keeps it cute.

8. Run eternity tattoo

I've always loved the eternity sign and the 'run' text would inspire me to get my trainers on every day. The back of the neck is the best place for a tattoo in my opinion, as you'd never feel ashamed of a messy, sweaty bun. 

9. The yoga tattoo

This is for those dedicated yogis out there. The tree pose represents strength, flexibility, grounding and balance. Stay dedicated to your yoga practice for life with this tattoo, I'm definitely up for touching my toes at 90! 

10. Waves tattoo

When I am by the ocean, I feel most present and connected to nature - what could be better to do then sit silently and watch the waves? I'd feel like a little part of me was always with the waves if I had this little tattoo.
