50 Cute Small Tattoos for Girls

Some people use their bodies as a canvas for beautiful masterpieces, covering themselves head to toe in gorgeous tattoos that tell a story. But for others, a small tattoo here and there does the trick. If you’re in the market for a super cute and super tiny tat, you’ve come to the right place. These 50 cute small tattoos for girls will give you the inspiration you need to step up to the plate- or the tattoo gun, I should say.

1. Detailed Lotus Flower – Side Piece

This tattoo may be small, but it definitely doesn’t lack beauty or detail. This stunning, feminine flower boasts plenty of exotic features that makes it stand out from the rest. We absolutely adore this design and the flirty placement is simply perfect.

2. Infinity with Quotes – Wrist Piece

Infinity tattoos are incredibly popular, and we especially love this particular infinity tat because of the every-so-popular and notorious “Live the life you love, love the life you live” that’s attached to it. This tiny tat definitely deserves a 10 out of 10.

3. Angel Wings – Wrist Piece

You’d normally find a pair of wings plastered across somebodies back, but if you’re not that bold or simply don’t want a humungous tattoo but still want to enjoy some angel wings, this is the tattoo for you! This beautiful tattoo is delicate, detailed, and totally dark- a killer combination that looks lovely on the wrist.

4. Butterfly and Flowers – Foot Piece

There’s two things that scream ‘girly’ and ‘feminine’: flowers and butterflies. And this lovely little foot tat has both. We love the placement and we love how it looks as though the beautiful butterfly is prancing across a bed of flowers. Adorable.

5. Black Butterfly – Shoulder Piece

If you’re a lover of butterflies but the super-girly pink setting doesn’t appeal to you, I happily introduce you to the black butterfly. It’s still delicate and trendy, yet has a slightly rugged look to it. What a wonderful idea, and the placement is totally awesome.

6. Tiny Dotted Bow – Wrist Piece

The tiny dotted bow. So, so dainty and delicate. Yet so amazingly feminine. This might be one of the smallest tattoos we’ve ever seen, but that doesn’t mean it’s not one of thee most tasteful. It’s tiny and chic and has a graceful appeal that can’t be missed. Needless to say, we’re big fans of this little wristlet.

7. Pulse – Wrist Tattoo

Pulse tattoos are super popular. There’s no doubt about that. Nine times out of ten they hold some significant meaning to them (maybe it was your child’s first heartbeat or your mom’s final heartbeat before she passed), and aside from that they’re just really awesome to look at. This pulse wrist tattoo is extra trendy because of the less-popular (but definitely on the rise) white ink.

8. Mickey Mouse – Ankle Piece
