7 Minimalistic Tattoos For Women Who Need a Little Inkspo

Minimalistic tattoos are dainty and discreet. These small works of art are proof that size does matter. And it helps that these tiny designs can have big meanings. Take Hailey Bieber for instance who has more mini tattoos than we can count or Alia Bhatt’s ‘Pataka’ tattoo. 

However, if you’re in the process of deciding what tattoo you want to get inked, it’s easy to fall down a rabbit hole. To pull you out from the other side, we’ve curated a list of all the cutest mini tattoos that hold great meaning. From your favourite food items (because why not have a physical representation of the coffee running through your veins?) to the angel number that you see everywhere you look, scroll through! 

Sunflower
A good luck charm in form of a tattoo, the sunflower stands for many things. It’s a reminder to always look on the bright side. It also symbolises beauty, patience, hope and warmth. The ideal placement for this tattoo would be your shoulder since the curved lines will fit nicely with the natural curve of your shoulder. However, wherever you decide to put this tattoo, you know you can’t go wrong. 

Food items 
Think— mini cupcakes, matching avocados with your brunch buddies or a cup of coffee. There is nothing more satisfying than having your favourite food tattooed. There’s only one downside though, it might not help with food cravings. But hey, sometimes that’s a good thing! 

Diamond
They say diamonds are a girl's best friend but that isn’t always because of our affinity for the sparkling gem. Diamonds are nearly indestructible. They symbolise inner strength, invincibility of spirit, power and beauty. Talk about a small tattoo with a big meaning! 

I am greater than my highs and lows 
If you land upon this design while googling ‘cute tattoo designs’ it may appear as a random assortment of geometric lines. But it’s much, much more than that. This seemingly random design stands for a powerful sentiment—I am greater than my highs and lows. It’s a comforting prompt that you are bigger than your greatest accomplishment and the moment you hit whatever is below rock bottom. It can be your forever pick-me-up. 

Angel numbers 
Angel numbers are the universe’s way of sending you messages and guiding you on the right path. If you look at your watch every morning and spot 11:11 or if you order a coffee and your bill comes to ₹ 222, you can be rest assured that your guardian angels are sending you their version of a virtual hug. Tattooing a pattern that resonates with you (even if you don’t spot it everywhere you look) can just be a simple reminder to trust your intuition on the days you feel as blue as a Smurf.
