A new tattoo trend is sweeping social media. People getting inked in a painful place.
On Instagram, artistic ears are all the rage. Centre stage is the helix – the soft outer edge of your ear. It’s quite tender. Tattoos there really hurt.
People are sharing their dainty designs by the thousands. They embellish ear cartilage rather than the more usual flesh of elsewhere. The artwork is delicate, and usually designs reflect that, with floral patterns taking the place of earrings.
Tattoo artists require a lot of skill and a fine needle to cary out the work. ‘Stick and poke’ lines and dots are a popular option, Taxi writes, which allow very thin, intricate imagery. — Mirror
