The small paper plane is a tattoo that’s increasing in popularity and it’s obvious why – it’s adorable! It’s whimsical and makes people want to know more about it and the tiny dotted trail that marks its path is reminiscent of the one we typically see behind a bumblebee, which is also adorable!

Another tattoo that’s increasing in popularity is the third eye. It’s got a lot of different meanings across cultures and looks really cool as a small tattoo!

Sleek arrows and lines will never go out of style. Boho designs make great small tattoos that still look and feel intricate and detailed.

Dates or even just numbers make for a really cool and trendy tattoo. They look classy and make people want to know more about the story behind the tattoo!
