Think aloud
Don’t we all adore this story? It always serves as a beautiful reminder to see beyond what the eyes observe. That’s why the Little Prince tattoo couldn’t be a better choice for your next ink!
Below, you can check out the cutest designs, ranging from colorful to black and gray.
1. Delicate shoulder piece
For a subtle yet meaningful tattoo, choose this shoulder design. It depicts the Little Prince sitting with his dear fox. The image evokes feelings of serenity and inner peace.
It also reminds you to appreciate the little moments in life. In the end, you won’t remember any grand events but rather the simple times you experienced with your loved ones, as simple as sitting, talking, and observing the beauty around you.
2. The fox, the rose, and the Little Prince
This is a vibrant forearm piece signifying a special scene from the book. Namely, when the Little Prince arrives on Earth, he encounters a fox and has a heart-to-heart conversation with it.
He tells her of his rose, which he left because she was too much. She needed a lot of care and nurture, and he eventually grew tired of her high-maintenance nature.
However, the fox reminds him that his rose is special because of the time he devoted to her. That’s why the design of the rose is even bigger in the background, highlighting its importance.
3. Black and gray leg piece
If you prefer a black and gray design, here’s one. It’s the same scene we already mentioned, the Little Prince sitting with the fox and talking about the rose he left back on his planet.
The meaning of the tattoo is further enhanced by a lack of color. Sometimes, you understand the importance of something or someone only when you observe it from a distance. The Little Prince realizes that his rose is special only after spending time apart from her.
4. Small but meaningful tattoo
If you prefer small tattoos, don’t worry because we’ve got you covered! Here’s the mini version of the same famous scene, drawn in lively and cheerful colors.
You’ll have a tattoo that has the same wonderful meaning as those above, but with a different aesthetic appeal. This piece isn’t too showy, but still beautiful enough to mesmerize as soon as you notice it!
5. Framed Little Prince tattoo
For a more intriguing Little Prince tattoo, choose this purple frame depicting the Little Prince’s talk with the fox. You can even see dolphins floating in the air above them!
The serene and cheerful hues signify the magical aspect of the tattoo (as well as the book). The dolphins especially contribute to this effect! It’s a tattoo that invites you to embrace your childish spirit because the world gets all the more interesting when you look at it with the eyes of a child.
6. Vibrant Little Prince tattoo
If you’re a huge lover of orange and the cheerfulness it exudes, here’s an adorable design for you—the Little Prince and the fox, all depicted in orange hues, except for Little Prince’s attire.
It could serve as a symbol of his home planet and identity, whereas the orange marks his true self, the one he’s created through numerous adventures and creatures he has encountered.
7. Reaching the stars
If you want a more complex Little Prince tattoo, this one might intrigue you. It’s an upper-arm piece, depicting the rose inside the fox, and the Little Prince standing on them while observing the nearby planets.
The magical trio is displayed in vibrant colors, whereas the rest of the tattoo is in black and gray hues. That’s because what truly matters to the Little Prince isn’t the adventures the world has to offer, but rather the ones he holds dear—the rose and the fox.
8. World of the Little Prince
Let your forearm be a canvas for a beautiful story. This particular tattoo depicts the Earth. Inside, you can see the Little Prince talking with the fox. And on it lies the rose he had left behind.
The rose being outside of the planet symbolizes abandonment, but at the same time the realization of the Little Prince that what he truly cherishes has been there all along.
There is also a book next to the planet, releasing colors that symbolize the story itself.
9. Elephant eaten by a snake
This thigh tattoo represents the famous beginning of the book, where the narrator draws an elephant swallowed by a snake. However, everyone around him sees a hat instead.

It’s a piece that will remind you to appreciate what you have, all the while enhancing your appearance with its cute energy.
11. Little Prince’s rose
This is a little rose tattoo on the forearm. It’s the Little Prince’s rose surrounded by the moon, the stars, and the planets. Everything around it is smaller, marking its importance.
However, this tattoo doesn’t necessarily have to represent the rose from the book, but rather whatever or whomever YOU find precious. We all have our own rose. Show your appreciation by opting for this design.
12. Box hiding a sheep
Opt for this colorful splash if you want a simple yet vibrant upper-arm tattoo. It depicts a scene from the book where the Little Prince wants the narrator to draw a sheep. He is satisfied only when the narrator presents him with a sheep inside a box. That’s what the box in the image signifies.
It’s our creativity and imagination that needs to be nurtured every single day.
13. Little Prince with a flock of birds
