What’s the first image that pops into your head when you hear the word tattoo? A snake? A skull? Maybe a tribal totem? While all of these symbols can look awesome on our skin, tattoos don’t have to be edgy to make an impact. Delicate lines and pastel colors can also catch people’s attention. To show that, we put together a list of wholesome designs, capturing pets, friends, family, and other profound parts of our lives. See which ones resonate with you.

#5 This Is Tanya. She Is An ER Nurse From SoCal. Last Year She Came To Me To Get Her First Tattoo Ever…on Her Head
She told me that she had developed alopecia, lost all her hair and that she was finally ready and happy to reclaim a bit of her identity back and own her Alopecia. Last week she came back for session 2 and we did this flower on the other side of her head. One of my favorite days. Thank you Tanya!!
