Chances are, you've opened this article because you're thinking of getting your very first tattoo. If that's the case, we share the very same ideas about first tattoo designs - they have to be you, unique, and meaningful; in short - just perfect.

In any case, though, you've opened the right article, for this is our list of the best ear tattoo ideas!

And boy, you'll find some terrific examples of ear tattoos here! From teeny geometrics to incredibly detailed works of art, it seems that all the world can fit right in (or behind) your ear!
So, buckle up and scroll down below to check out our picks of some pretty darn awesome ear tattoos! Once you are there, be sure to vote for the tattoo ideas that you'd love to get inked, and don't forget to share this article with your friends!

Rose Tattoo
Bee Tattoo
Pattern Tattoo
Not sure I like the wave/pattern/squiggle ones that cover the whole ear. Might look ok somewhere else, but it just makes the ear looks strange I think. Definitely nowhere near as bad as the tattoos some people get, more of a matter of taste

I'm sorry, but I'm really struggling to see an elephant here
Flower, Heart And Star Tattoo
Love the earring. I'm going to find something like that! I also like the ear tattoo but prefer the rough and ready style of the older tattoos. Too bad so much of the ink peeled out. I'm guessing during healing.
Handwritten Name Tattoo
Ornament Tattoo
Excellent. I have something not at all similar I want to do down my sideburn to jaw area.
