Hip tattoos

The quiet charm of hip tattoos

There’s something undeniably personal about a tattoo nestled along the hip. It’s a canvas that invites secrets, layered meanings and sensory beauty. Whether it’s softly hidden beneath fabric or revealed with intention, hip tattoos are more than just a design — they’re a whispered statement of self.

Our 2025 collection is crafted for those who see their body as art. Each piece is designed to follow your form in ways that feel natural and intimate, from delicate florals to bold symbology. Think curves that echo yours, ink that compliments rather than consumes.

Not just ink: the personal symbolism of hip and belly tattoos

For many, the draw of a hip tattoo lies in its duality — it can be private or shown with pride. The belly, on the other hand, feels symbolic. It’s where life begins, where memory settles. Tattoos here often mark transformation, strength or renewal. That’s why you’ll find our designs carry meaning beyond the visual.

Looking for something floral? Roses bring their thorns as much as their blooms, while lotus flowers mirror growth through complexity. Both work beautifully sweeping along the hipbone or tracing the lower stomach, adding softness or significance depending on your intent.

Designs that move with you

Some designs are made to sit still. These are not. Hip and belly tattoos often benefit from flow — the gentle rise and fall of petals, the intricate repetition of mandalas, or the clean precision of geometric motifs. These forms shift with you, emphasising movement, adding depth.

Prefer a cleaner aesthetic? Minimalist tattoos — like a single wave, branch or symbol — sit subtly along the skin. Browse our simple tattoos collection for designs that speak softly but carry weight.

Favourite placements and styles

• Side hip: Perfect for trailing florals, linear designs or spiritual symbols that follow the body’s natural curve.
• Lower belly: Ideal for mandalas or detailed art with circular symmetry — designs that centre you emotionally as well as visually.
• Above the hip bone: Great for animals like lions or wolves. These animal tattoos suggest strength beneath softness.

Little ideas that say a lot

Personalisation doesn’t always mean going big. A tiny heart. A crescent moon. An infinity symbol that marks something ongoing. These smaller tattoos convey meaning in their own way — gentle reminders etched against warm skin.

And if you’re someone who prefers subtleties, you might fall in love with discreet designs tucked near the hip crease or hidden just above the waistband.

Choosing what speaks to you

There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to body art. Some of us lean toward colourful expression, some toward monochrome elegance. Maybe it’s bold geometry, or maybe leaves, waves or trees that mirror your bond with nature.

Let your instincts decide. These designs are temporary but carry weight. They’re vegan, skin-safe, and waterproof — so they move with you, just like your style does.

Your body, your narrative 🌙

Hip tattoos aren’t only aesthetic — they’re deeply personal. Whether you’re honouring a memory, embracing your femininity, or reclaiming your space, let your choice reflect who you are becoming. And remember, what’s hidden can still be powerful.
