Rainbow Bright

Let’s kick things off with a vivd tattoo that goes big with color. Barbie looks so joyful here.

Lipstick

This is the first lipstick Barbie tattoo, but it won’t be the last! If you want something cute and very femme, go with something similar.

Big and Beautiful

Some of our favorite Barbie tattoos involve designs that show famed dolls. Here’s one example: plenty more to come.

We Are All Barbie

Getting her name in the iconic font is popular. If you’d like something light and bright, skip the black ink and use pink.

It’s Okay to Cry

Tattoos of Barbies with tattoos are also trendy. This one says “Smile now, Cry Later.” We all need a cry ever now and then and this doll is no exception.

Goth Barbie

A graffiti-inspired design looks bold in dripping black ink. If you’d like your design to a more unique place, think outside the box.

Retro Vibes

It’s Blissa, the cat! We love the pops of color in this tattoo and the glitter effect in the background. It makes all the pinks stand out.

Bubblegum

As promised, there will be Barbie tattoos with tattoos. Sweetness and toughness are balanced in this design that has been executed well.

Sparkles

Here’s the glitter effect inside the classic Barbie logo that’s been updated with an addition that’s unexpected. Express yourself!

A Ticket to the Past

Who else absolutely loves this Barbie? It’s one of the coolest hairstyles of any doll. Pick a vintage Barbie and you will walk away with something charming.

Big B

Instantly recognizable, we have the letter B in the signature Barbie font. Pink and blue go exceptionally well together, so if you can pair them, do it.

Barbie Pinup

We’ve got some flower power in this fashionable look. She is perfect.

Fire

March to the beat of your own drum, folks. Barbie can be put on absolutely anything!

What a Dream

If you were fortunate enough to have one of the doll’s Dreamhouses as a child, count your blessings. We love this big Barbie tattoo with a perfect placement on the thigh.

We’re In Love

Take a look at those earrings. Wow! They shine next to those deep black locks of hair. Mid-century motifs help sweeten the entire deal.

Could Be Malibu Christie

We are not Barbie experts, but we seem to recall this character being named Malibu Christie. We love her playful wink.

Yee-Haw

Cowboy Barbie for the win! So far, we have seen a ton of colorful ink. Going with only black has its virtues as well.

Feeling It

We all saw the Kenergy on display in the new Barbie movie. This person has taken it to heart. We secretly hope their name is Ken.

Chit Chat

Another Barbie with an old phone! Clean lines and expertly shaded shapes make this a real winner.

BarbenHeimer

Only in America would the two biggest movies of the year release on the same day. The premieres of Oppenheimer and Barbie spawned countless memes as the tones of each film are polar opposites. We didn’t see many BarbenHeimer tattoos, but this was definitely the best.

Keys to the Dreamhouse

How cute! Barbie’s iconic accessories have been attached to a keyring here, marrying gold and bright pink. We wish this was real.

Polaroid

The Barbie Polaroid camera was first released in 1999 and this tattoo of one is giving us some serious nostalgia. This is one of the more creative tattoos on the list.

Cute to Boot

Yes! Absolutely, yes! This pink boot with tiny hearts is flanked by flowers and stars for added sweetness. Would you wear a pair of boots like these?

Surprise

By adding a “frame” around your tattoo, you get more definition that makes a bigger impact. This surprised Barbie looks so pretty in a pink ombré.

Barbie Flowers

As promised, here’s another Barbie lipstick tattoo, but a background of beautiful botanicals adds much more to the design. You can absolutely incorporate your love of nature with your Barbie tattoo.

For even more ink inspiration, keep reading. We’ve got our favorite Taylor Swift tattoos to share with you!

Mad Woman

The feminist ballad about gaslighting, “Mad Woman,” proves popular among Taylor Swift tattoos. Just two simple words tell a complex story.

August

“To live for the hope of it all” is a lyric from the song “August.” The song is a favorite from Swift’s Folklore album and many tattoos are inspired by it.

Champagne Problems

“Your heart was glass” is a line from “Champagne Problems.” Despite being a Taylor Swift hit, the song does not inspire a great number of tattoos. That makes this one a unique find among Taylor Swift tattoos.

Portrait with Snake

We must tell you that portrait tattoos are a risk. If you want an image in the likeness of Taylor Swift on your body, research before pulling the trigger. Find an artist with a proven track record of success.

Mastermind

This is one of our favorite Taylor Swift tattoos on the list. It’s a potion tattoo inspired by the song “Mastermind” from Midnights. Specifically the image references “And the touch of a hand lit the fuse / Of a chain reaction of countermoves / To assess the equation of you / Checkmate, I couldn’t lose.”

Taylor Swift Meets Artemis

Okay! We have a goddess-inspired Taylor Swift tattoo here that imagines her as Artemis. It’s a clever concept as she is the goddess of wild animals and the hunt. Do you see the bow and arrow incorporated into the design? It’s a reference to Swift’s song, “The Archer.”

Anti-Hero

“I’ll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror,” is a line from the hit “Anti-Hero.” We find that lyric replicated in visual form in this darling Taylor Swift tattoo.

Mirrorball

By far, the most popular style of Taylor Swift tattoo is of a disco ball. The image references the song “Mirrorball.” While researching this piece, we saw countless mirrorball tattoos, and the words “try, try, try” are a popular accompaniment.

Forever and Always

“Oh, and it rains in your bedroom / Everything is wrong / It rains when you’re here, and it rains when you’re gone / ‘Cause I was there when you said, ‘Forever and always,’ seems to be the specific lyric that inspired this Taylor Swift tattoo. Isn’t it gorgeous?

Fearless

The album, Fearless, inspires this tattoo. Swift was just 20 years old when she recorded it, proving that she was young and fearless.

All Too Well

“Just between us, did the love affair maim you too?” Swift asks in the song “All Too Well.” This haunting match tattoo with a blue flame is inspired by it.

The Other Side of the Door

“T.O.S.O.T.D.” can be found in a banner on these matching record tattoos. The abbreviation references “The Other Side of the Door.” If you are part of a Swiftie squad, consider getting matching designs to celebrate your favorite artist.

Karma

There are so many Taylor Swift tattoos inspired by “Karma.” In this example, we find the letters morphing into a cool shape. If you are going to get a word or phrase tattooed, work with your artist to come up with creative ways to make the lettering look fresh.

Long Story Short

How about these beautifully tattooed koi fish? We think they are the perfect pairing for this Swift tattoo inspired by “Long Story Short.”

Cowboy Like Me

While many of the Taylor Swift-inspired tattoos on this list are pretty direct with what they reference, you can go the subtle route. A skull wearing a cowboy hat is a fun design that references “Cowboy Like Me.” Cowboy boots are also popular!

Ivy

“My house of stone, your ivy grows… and now I’m covered in you,” is a lyric from “Ivy.” If tattoos are any indication, this song is one of Swift’s that profoundly resonates with fans. There are so many ivy tattoos out there! This is the first on this list, but it won’t be the last.

More Mirrorball

We told you there were a bunch of mirrorball tattoos out there. Here’s one that dials up the color and is improved with a funky cowboy hat. Your tattoo, your rules.

Karma Card

Here’s another Taylor Swift tattoo inspired by “Karma.” Tarot card tattoos are wildly popular today and Swifties are fond of them. We also saw a card inspired by “The Archer.”

More Ivy

How gorgeous is this ivy tattoo? We’re blown away! This is another one of the Taylor Swift tattoos that is not explicitly about the artist and her music. It’s an understated nod to the beloved song.

Portrait Mode

Taylor Swift portraits are mildly popular, but many artists swing and miss. So, please be careful when you go to get one.

Taylor’s Version

Taylor Swift famously re-recorded her early albums to have control over her body of work. So many “Taylor’s version” tattoos are out there that remark about it.

With Love

Why, yes, you can get right to the point by getting the artist’s name tattooed on you. This one is part of a traditional heart design. This fan is clearly in love.

Getaway Car

How clever! We find a license plate that says “GTAWYCR,” referencing the hit “Getaway Car.” Flowers never hurt and they help sweeten the whole deal.

A Cup of Anti-Hero

“It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me,” is a lyric from “Anti-Hero” used to inspire this teacup design. We are head-over-heels for this very sweet and pretty design.
