Black tattoos

Ink that speaks in black

There’s something quietly defiant about black tattoos. No colours battling for attention — just striking contrast, honest lines, and designs that carry weight without shouting. Our Black Tattoos collection is a tribute to the understated: sleek, symbolic, and always on your terms.

From spirituality to rebellion, black ink has long been the canvas of clarity. And in a temporary form? Even more liberating. Experiment freely, commit lightly, express deeply.

Designs etched in meaning

This collection is home to pieces that don’t fade into background noise. Each design brings its own rhythm — whether inspired by nature, mythology or mathematics. Here are some motifs that continue to resonate:

• Florals: Roses, lilies, and lotuses remain timeless for a reason. They hold both softness and strength — perfect for wrists or collarbones, where subtleties shine.
• Animals: Not just decoration — wolves, lions and tigers evoke instinct, pride, and resilience. Browse our lion tattoos or trace the untamed with a wolf tattoo.
• Geometry: Mandalas, waves and linework tattoos pull from sacred symmetry and stillness. Think back, thigh or forearm for maximum space to breathe.
• Mythical icons: Ravens, phoenixes, and other darker icons tell stories of transformation, endings, and awakening. Ideal when your ink wants to whisper something deeper.

When the placement tells the story

Where you place your tattoo matters — not just in terms of exposure, but emotional weight. A wrist design can feel like an amulet. A bold piece across your sternum? That’s armour.

Here are a few suggestions, although everything depends on your mood, outfit, or moment:

• Smaller statements: Place on wrist, ankle or behind the ear — intimate, intentional, impossible to ignore.
• Medium pieces: Forearms, biceps, nape of the neck — areas that offer visibility without shouting.
• Bigger canvases: Thighs, back, ribs or chest — for sprawling, intricate work that takes up space unapologetically.

Why black tattoos never fade (in soul, at least)

While trends shift colours and shapes, black tattoos stay timeless. There’s something ancient, almost ritualistic, about them. They sit easily on any skin tone, adapt to every fashion era, and allow detail to take centre stage.

Plus, with our temporary tattoos, you’re not bound by permanence. Try new styles without regret. Match your ink to your mood. And because they’re vegan, waterproof and EU-certified, you can wear them comfortably, confidently, and often without second-guessing.
