Helix Tattoo Trend Is Taking Over Instagram, And These 51 Pics Will Make You Want To Get One Too
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 :/

With this one, you have to consider the fact that you will look like Van Gogh with your ear wrapped up like that (-;

This one is good, why it got down votes? matches the rest of his ink.

Sorry, but living in Florida, they make me think of ticks. I assure you it would be a conversation starter on the best way to get rid of the blood suckers!

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.

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
