Fairy tattoos don't have to be large. Even a small fairy makes an impact. For less commitment, opt for a simple design in a spot that isn't always visible. You can always add to your canvas later.
Go Tribal

A tribal fairy design keeps it simple while making a bold statement. Not every fairy has to show her true colors, so get creative with black ink!
Gothic Fairy

Not all fairies are ethereal and feminine - some are strong and sexy, with an edge. If you're a fan of the mythical realm of fantasy or science fiction, consider a mysteriously beautiful gothic fairy design.
Kneeling Fairy

Rather than set her in flight, change your fairy's position for a custom look. On bended knee, this fairy seems to represent grounding and change. The design is perfect for making a statement!
Attention to Detail

Fairy tattoos can be done with a high level of attention to detail. Consider not only the fairy but her surroundings when choosing your design. For example, a fairy can be inked within a flower design or another element of nature.

Fairies can work well alone as a single design. They also pair well with other images such as dragons, butterflies, trees and flowers. The fairy can be hidden within the design or the focal point of the tattoo.
Unique Reflection

A fairy tattoo design can be as unique as the person wearing the ink. You can add in elements and traits that reflect your personality into the tattoo design for something that is not only beautiful to look at, but meaningful as well.
Tattoo Placement

Once you have selected your fairy ink design, you'll need to decide where to place it. These tattoos can work on any part of the body. They're a great choice for arms, shoulders, hips, ankles and lower backs - any part of the body can make the perfect fairy canvas! This feminine fairy hip placement looks great when paired with a swimsuit or revealing top.
