Think aloud
If you wish to get a stomach tattoo, sooner or later you’ll realize just how many options you have. This part of your body is perfect for bigger, more dominant designs but that doesn’t mean that smaller tattoos won’t look amazing on it.
So, as you’re searching through the vast number of possibilities for your new tattoo, let us give you some options that may suit your aesthetic. We’ve made a list of different tattoo styles and designs so you can figure out what’s something you like the best.
1. Butterfly tattoo
The butterfly is a symbol of growth and change. It’s a meaningful element that will tell your story but at the same time, you can always adjust it so it fits your aesthetic.
2. Naturalistic piece
If you’re into flowers and other natural elements but don’t want to get a delicate fine-line tattoo, this is the way to go. With slightly thicker lines, this design will stand out on your stomach and steal the attention each time you hit the beach.
3. Fish tattoo
This delicate fish tattoo will become a symbol of persistence, wisdom, and prosperity that you get to wear on your skin. We’re sure that you’ll fall in love with its meaning and looks at the same time.
4. Japanese-themed tattoo
If you’re obsessed with Japanese culture then you’re going to love this idea. By including some of the important elements, you can easily get a tattoo that will showcase your love for everything Japanese. (PS You can do this with any other culture as well.)
5. Skulls tattoo
Skull tattoos may seem scary but besides the danger they represent, they can also be seen as symbols of the fragility of life. If you don’t feel afraid to get them inked on your skin, then you should consider this design since it’s a perfect blend of dark elements and tiny details.
6. Distorted letters
Distorted letting is a cool technique that is so simple to achieve but looks impressive on the skin. The best thing about these kinds of tattoos is that you can ink any word, quote, or saying you like and that way, make your tattoo more personal.
7. Swallows tattoo
Swallows symbolize freedom, traveling as well as returning home. They’re a common option among sailors or literally anyone else who spends the majority of their time traveling around the world. If that sounds like you, then you may consider this amazing black and gray tattoo.
8. Lavender tattoo
Each flower tells its own story and it’s the same with lavender. This beautiful purple plant is a symbol of purity and devotion. But what we love the most about this specific design is its simplicity and the way it looks amazing on the skin without too many complicated details.
9. Flaming heart tattoo
As you probably already know, the heart is a symbol of love and passion. And what better way to embrace the meaning of this element than to ink its shape with the help of burning flames? Thanks to the blackwork technique, you’ll get a statement piece on your tummy.
10. Sun and moon
The sun and moon are two elements that usually go together. They represent the cycle of life and the balance between everything in the Universe. If you’re into mystical tattoos, this could be the right choice for you.
11. Simple crosses
These two simple crosses are the way to go when you’re looking for a tattoo that’s going to showcase your importance of faith and religion. We love this design because it’s slightly different from your traditional cross tattoo but isn’t complicated at all.
12. Small ornamental piece
There’s something about ornamental tattoos that makes them look amazing, no matter where you place them. It could be the ability to see the skill of the tattoo artist through the tattoo. This particular design is perfect if you’re looking for a smaller skin decoration.
13. Floral elements
A ton of flowers, dotwork effect, and only black ink. If that sounds like your cup of tea then the chances are that you’re going to love this tattoo. Besides the fact that it looks amazing, we can’t ignore the perfect symmetry which makes it even prettier.
14. Bold lettering
We already gave you an idea to play with a lettering tattoo. This time, we wanted to show you what you can get if you opt for a bolder piece. From an inspirational statement to a motivational quote, you can ink anything you want on your body.
15. Web and spiders
Spiderweb usually symbolizes life struggles and is a common choice among people who are looking for a reminder of all the challenges they’ve been through. If you’re one of them, you can get this cool tattoo to show the world that you don’t plan on giving up, no matter what life throws at you.
16. Ornamental daggers
A dagger can have different meanings which is always amazing to hear since you can use it to tell your own story. This black and gray tattoo is definitely a cool idea if you’re looking for a more simple tattoo, without too many details.
17. Dainty stomach piece
On the other hand, if you’re into complicated and dainty tattoos then you’re probably going to love this one. It’s elegant, intricate, and stunning – the three adjectives you probably want to use when describing a tattoo.
18. Neo-tribal tattoo
Neo-tribal tattoos are a combination of ancient symbols and artistic expression. They’re adjustable and flexible which means that you can play with them however you want without degrading their aesthetic. If you’re into this style, then you should consider the design in the picture above.
19. Dragon tattoo
Dragons represent strength, grace, and intelligence. They’re probably one of the most-tattooed symbols out there due to their meaning and the ability to play with their shape. They can fit anywhere you want and still look amazing.
20. Cherub tattoo
Cherubs are a perfect choice if you’re into mythological or divine creatures. The best thing about getting a tattoo of them is the classical vibe they radiate. No matter how fast the trends change, this tattoo is always going to look amazing.
