Tattoo parlors, hair salons and restaurants are opening back up. You already know your go-to hairdo and your favorite restaurant. But what ink should you get professionally installed on that art-ready epidermal canvas? We are here to help.
Stay on trend or bring one back. Tribal tats used to be really popular. Heck, they might still be, and for a reason. Strong, bold, decorative. Who wouldn't look good with a tribal across the back, on a shoulder or around the bicep?
(Bonus: Most of these placements are easy to hide when you don't want them to show in the office.)
You're staying indoors until you are SURE this COVID-19 business is over. But that doesn't make you any less daring. When you emerge, get some knuckle tats to show the world your stay-at-home passion.
(Anything with 8 letters: STAY HOME, DOMESTIC, TACO TIME, HOME WINS, MAINTAIN, LOVE PETS, BATHROOM?)
You're deep. And you've been through a lot. And when you're down in the dumps, a little inspiration will remind you of that inner strength that pulls you through anything.
(Suggestions: Something that says "You got this" in so many words. Beware of lyrics. Make sure you'll like that band in 20 years.)
You're an outdoorsy person. Being trapped inside has you missing the sun, the trees, hiking and nature watching. Keep the outdoors with you on your skin forever to help you get through. And then go for a walk.
(Suggestions: Birds, a wise old owl, trees always look pretty BA in tattoo form, a sun and a moon to show your light and dark sides, maybe some planets for something far-out.)
You've been leaning heavily on your faith and spirituality in these difficult months. Also, you've been super nice to everyone, and they're fresh out of halos.
(Alternative: Get a cross somewhere that you can hide it at church, but you always know is there, like your thigh or torso.)
You're not ready for forever ink. Try temporary henna for now and see how it feels. Then we'll talk.
Your significant other has been the one thing you depend on through this quarantine business. Why not celebrate that bond with some ink that shows how much you complete each other? (Suggestions: Jigsaw puzzle pieces, matching symbols/handwritten phrases, or this cute bird and cage combo)
Get something, anything, tatted on your face. You're at the height of not caring what people think. Wear your message loudly and proudly. Plus, you've run out of space everywhere else!
(Note: You don't have to go as bold as this guy. Just remember, this will be with you forever.)
