1.8Mviews
A new tattoo trend is taking over Instagram, and, we must say, it's pretty awesome. Say goodbye to earrings and ear cuffs, and hello to helix tattoos.
The helix is the thin curved outer part of the ear and now people are jazzing it up with dainty ink designs. From flowers to paw prints to minimalist lines - there are so many different ways to spice up your helix, the possibilities are endless. The best part? You never have to worry about losing an earring again!

I love this, it's so simple ♥ I'd want to get a black tattoo just like this one, only if the black ink stayed black forever, but nah it's a pity it turns kinda green after a while and it needs to be retouched :/

What do you think ?
They look interesting. But a tattoo trend, again? It's not my business or anything and if you wanna do that, more power to you. But if you are going for a tattoo that will last for the rest of your life, I'd recommend to choose something on a place that isn't a "trend" at the moment and something you REALLY wanted to have for a long time. It gives it more meaning than just following a trend.
I always interpret trends as being ideas rather than an actual must have. I wouldn't have thought of helix tattoos if I didn't see it.
With that I fully agree. If you find it interesting on itself and keep the trend and inspiration seperate and then only focus on the inspiration, then it is all fine. My aim was more towards those who put a tattoo like that on their skin, simply because of that trend and don't care much for actually liking the idea of a helix tattoo. Your way of thinking about the tattoo is more logical, than those who simply follow the trend.
Let's not forget the awesome "tramp stsmp" trend 😂😂😂
Aren't tats art? Hmmm. Do you consider canvas artists trendy? I wonder? Rockwell, Michangelo, Picasso, Wahol...trendy. Let it be, let it be...there will be an answer...let it be...oh dang another artist. Can't get away from ART!
Btw Virginie, to continue on my previous reply to you: I find tattoos pretty awesome to see and greatly respect tattoo artists. Also I wasn't even being rude. So don't even try to unnecessarily shout your sarcasm at me.
Or maybe people can do what they want with their body ? And if they find something pretty they can do it, whatevers morons thinks ><
I quote from my original comment: "It's not my business or anything and if you wanna do that, more power to you."
All this is cute and trendy, but unlike the rings and jewelry one can attach to the ears, lips, and nose, once they are in place, there is no removing them unless the recipient is ready to undergo some torture and actually pay for it as well. With the rings and jewelry, they can be removed, and the skin will quickly fill in the holes and the person will look normal again. That's the way to go if you want to show your individuality. :D
True, and I'm not a tattoo kinda girl, but these are much nicer then the ones I usually see on people!!
Not to be critical, but these hipster tattoo trends really do the art no favor. When you get tattoos so small in weird places, they will fade really fast and not look very good. I know artists who will not tattoos these tiny tattoos because they know they won't hold up. If you want a tattoo, maybe consider how it will look in a year. I'm not talking about how it will wrinkle when you're an old person. But most of these will fade in probably a year. Hair falling all over them, not much breathability, tiny details in not a lot of space. Just my two cents!
I've had my small detailed for 16 years...no fading. It's on my wrist. They said you 'll be back to touch it yup. No need it's stool the best one of all!!!
I have a small heart on my wrist as well, but it is one single heart. It is not several small elements smashed into a tiny area. Plenty of these are way too close together and will end up mashing together
Up close I didn't think the detail was very good. From far away they didn't look so bad.
Sounds critical to me ;)
Holly well you went to a good artist then!
Its not critical, its true. I wanted little baby stars on my collar bone, but the artist wouldn't do them as small as i wanted because of what Caitlyn just said. The artist said mine would look like blobs once they were done healing.
