As the years go by, tattoos are becoming way less of a taboo or rebellious act and are used more as a form of expression. Whether it be a tribute to a loved one that has passed away or something as mundane as a pineapple because they’re your favorite fruit, it’s no secret that tattoos are common and accepted now. Everyone is getting tattoos now, but there are still some crotchety people who will argue that they don’t look good or that they are tasteless.
Well, it’s time to prove them wrong. Tattoos, when done elegantly can actually come out looking pretty stellar. I would say there are tattoos out there that are beautiful enough to be hung on a wall.
Here are 12 elegant tattoos that will prove just that.

Cute little whale on this girl’s side! This is a good one to get if you work at a strict job or would rather not show off your tattoo at all times.

I wonder if these are the faces of this person’s pet cats. If I had pet cats I would totally get all of their faces tattooed. Would you get your pet tatted?

This one almost looks like a real leaf doesn’t it? I know there are some tattoo artists who actually use real plants and flowers as their inspiration. I wonder if this was one of them.

Koi fish! This would actually make a pretty great couple’s tattoo, wouldn’t you think? If you were that close with your partner it would be adorable.

People really like their animal tattoos and I can see why. They always turn out really well. In my opinion, black ink tattoos are the best to get because they last longer and are easy to touch up. There’s also way less fading.

A flower for this girl’s foot. I hope this tattoo didn’t take too long because that probably hurt a lot. It sure made her foot pretty though.

Cover up time. That’s the other thing many people don’t realize about tattoos and getting tattoos at a young age. They’re not as permanent as you might think, and they can always be altered as you age.

This girl got a scar covered up. That’s another very smart use of tattoos. Many people are born with or end up getting scars for various reasons and a tattoo is a great way to brighten that up.

See? You probably never would have expected this woman to have a scar on the side of her waist with such a lovely cover up piece.

Beautiful, this one uses the pigmentation of the skin as a part of the tattoo by incorporating it as negative space.

Last one. This girl got an awesome bird tattooed on her neck and it’s looking pretty fresh. This one definitely hurt.
