We asked the BuzzFeed Community to show us their tiny and subtle tattoos. Here are the incredible results.
I let a guy I met off a dating app (he’s a tattoo artist and fellow Harry Potter fan) give me this tattoo on our first date.
I have a “J” tattooed on my wrist in memory of the love of my life and the kindest abuelito in the world.
Got this as a reminder to always look forward and not let things drag me down.
Got this done the week after the attacks in Paris, reminding me where I am from and the generation lost to senseless attacks.
I absolutely love elephants and decided to get one for life. The best part is that my parents who hate tattoos don’t mind it. It’s on an area of my foot that’s easy to hide, and it’s super cute!
It represents the place where I feel most at home, where I feel at peace, where I’ve built incredible friendships, and where I’ve learned so much about myself.
I went for a watercolor-style four-leaf clover. While, yes, I am very Irish, I also just love the simplicity the four-leaf clover offers. Plus, it can’t hurt to have a little extra luck in my life!
A little silhouette I got when my best four-legged friend passed away.
I got this little guy because I’m a seaman, and I wanted something ~deep~.
The birth and death years (1915–2015) of my great-grandmother on my arm.
This is my Peter Pan tattoo. Located on my right wrist, this leads me to Neverland. Second star to the right and straight on till morning.
Home is where your heart is, and my heart is in my hometown in Michigan. No matter how far away I may go, I’ll never forget where I came from.
My husband and I got these triangles at a time when we were feeling closer than ever in our marriage. The two bottom angles represent the two of us and the top is God in our relationship.

I suffer from some pretty serious depression, and after coming out the other side of a particularly bad couple of weeks, I went out and got this Bell Jar-inspired tattoo. It’s a small arrow, to remind me to keep soaring forward, and one-third of the quote “i am, i am, i am.” I’ve actually wanted it for over a year, and after drawing it so many times on my arm in ballpoint pen, it’s cool to look down and see it there permanently!
