Tattoo ideas for women in 2022

1) Self-explanatory tattoos

Some tattoos are timeless, like a small word in an aesthetic font or your favorite flower. One-line quotes are also a great choice for no-brainer tattoos which hopefully you won't regret after 20 years. Yes, that is a risk you run when you get your favorite character's face on your arm, and then after a few years, you don't like that T.V show anymore.

2) Simple dreamcatchers

These were very much in trend in 2013 just after the first movie of twilight was released but I feel they can never go out of style, you can get your whole forearm covered in a colorful dreamcatcher or a tiny one on your side shoulder, or ankle. Whatever floats your boat.

3) Celestial Tattoos 

Well, we all know someone in our friend circle who has a cluster of stars inked on either their sidearm or ankle. But apart from stars, there are other heavenly bodies that deserve mention. 

The moon has been an inspiration for many artists, authors, and poets from the beginning of time. Therefore, it's not surprising that the moon is pretty popular when it comes to tattoo ideas. The moon is a feminine symbol, therefore the moon can be a strong symbol when it comes to expressing the various stages a woman goes through in her entire lifetime.

Well, when it comes to getting these kinds of tattoos one should have confidence in their tattoo artist as these can be pretty complicated when it comes to designs. Also, it's my personal opinion, but if you want to get this, go for a colored version as it brings out the depth of the art even more.

4) Dragon Tattoos

I have no idea where to begin when it comes to dragon tattoos. This design comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors. I feel no two dragon tattoos can look the same. So even though this is a pretty common category you still have space to play with your own creativity and come up with something that is solely yours.

5) Nature Tattoos

A lot comes under this category because at the end of the day we are mostly surrounded by nature. Let's start with the most common but the prettiest of the lot.

Roses are the symbol of love, courage, and beauty. So, if you are a desperate romantic, you might consider getting a beautiful Rose tattoo on your arm, wrist, or maybe sleeves.
