5Bunny rabbit
Did you know that a rabbit can symbolise wealth and rebirth, as well as signifying growth? Not to mention it looks pretty darn cute, too.
6Star signs and birth year
Both of these ideas get a big yes from us. Your birth year and/or star sign in classic characters or script will forever be personal to you.

7Hand poked script
This hand poked style is so cool, plus, it lends itself perfectly to a small tattoo. We're into the sentiment of this one.

Right behind the ear is a great semi-hidden spot for a small tattoo. A simple framed heart looks gorgeous here.
9Dove
A symbol of peace, hope and love. How sweet is this animated dove tattoo?

10Heart on fire
We're big fans of the heart and fire combo - two regular emojis on our rotation, FYI - and the fun placing of this tat.
11Anatomical heart
Conventional love hearts not your thing? Try the anatomical version instead. We're big into the red ink.
12Framed portrait
We're totally inspired by these portrait tattoos. The framed outline works so well at making a small image stand out.

16Horse and sun
Take your pick of these super cute small tats. We love the block design of the horse and the cheeky smirking sun. Alternatively, you can opt for a simple initial, spotted on the next slide.
17Flower
More flowers, but this time a simple block petal design. Just under the collarbone is also a cool placement idea.
18Abstract flower
Yep, you could say that we're a teeeensy bit obsessed with flower tattoos – and this abstract one in particular.

We're especially loving the bold flame. So. Cool. 🔥
