Quote tattoos

Words that linger — wear your heart in ink

What we carry inside us often finds a way to the surface — and few expressions are more intimate than a quote tattoo. Whether it’s a line that lifts you, grounds you, or simply feels like home, our quote tattoos turn fleeting thoughts into something you can see, touch, and share.

This curated collection invites you to explore the kind of phrases that don’t just decorate your body but say something real. Something lasting. Whether it’s comfort, courage or connection you seek, there's a quote here with your name on it.

What stories do you want to carry?

From hopeful mantras to soulful sayings, each design is more than ink — it’s a little piece of you. Some of our most loved quote tattoos include:

• "Love Yourself" — a reminder that healing starts here. A gentle nudge, perfect for the wrist or collarbone.
• "Stay Strong" — resilience in four syllables. Looks striking on the shoulder or flowing across the forearm.
• "This Too Shall Pass" — an anchor in rough waters. Often chosen for the inner arm or along the ribcage.
• "To the Moon and Back" — for bonds that distance can’t weaken. Subtle and delicate on the nape or behind the ear.
• "Dream Big" — the gentle push to keep reaching. Lovely on the ankle or sweeping across the ribs.

Not just decorative, these semi-permanent tattoos touch on every part of our inner worlds — hope, love, loss and growth. They echo many of the themes explored in our writing tattoos and make thoughtful pairings with pieces from our lettering tattoos series.

Placement matters — where meaning meets design

Quote tattoos are deeply personal, and where you place yours can amplify its presence. If you want quiet confidence, the ribs or inner bicep create a moment for you and you alone. For something more visible — a public vow, perhaps — try the forearm, wrist, or even behind the ear. The ankle is a charming spot for shorter lines, while the back offers room for longer reflections.

Remember, your skin is part of the canvas. Shape, size, and flow all play a role. If you're honouring someone important, our tattoos for mom or tattoos for dad make touching complements.

A commitment… without the commitment ✨

Not quite ready to make it forever? That’s the beauty of vegan temporary tattoos. Crafted to be waterproof, skin-safe and EU-certified, they give you the freedom to experiment — wear different quotes depending on your mood, milestone or memory. They last for days and fade gracefully, like poetry read aloud.

It also means they’re ideal for special occasions. A wedding, a festival, a farewell. Even just a Monday that could use a lift.

Your body, your voice

There’s a unique intimacy to quote tattoos. They don’t shout — they murmur. They don’t follow trends — they follow the truth. Whether it’s a single word or a sentence that changed you, our quote tattoos let you wear your truth proudly, quietly or somewhere in between.
