10 Wave Tattoos That Were Made For Summer

10 Wave Tattoos That Were Made For Summer

By Samantha Sasso, Refinery29

Chances are, you know someone — or that someone knows someone — who has a tattoo of a wave. (It's like six degrees of separation but for ocean-inspired ink.) Whether it's big or small, black or filled in with color, the wave is one popular tattoo request that we don't see going away anytime soon.
If you've been considering the design for yourself, it might take some time to land on which rippled wave is right for your aesthetic. Will it be a tiny crest with simple lines, something colored in with shades of blue and green, or a large artistic piece? A quick search of Pinterest or Instagram and you'll see that there are thousands of options, making it nearly impossible to find the one you actually want to bring to your tattoo artist for inspiration.

Luckily, we've sorted through them all so you don't have to. Ahead, the best wave tattoo designs worth considering this summer.



You can't talk about waves without bringing up the nearly 200-year-old print "The Great Wave Off Kanagawa" by Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai, which is the inspiration for a lot of wave tattoos.



Tiny tattoos, like this single-needle wave, are perfect for anyone with a low threshold for pain.



Sure, a much bigger wave — like this one by Jess Chen — will hurt a bit more, but it's impossible to deny how rad this detailed Hokusai-inspired design will look wrapped around your arm.



There are plenty of cool spots to get a tattoo, but the side-boob (just above your ribs) is the quintessential placement for summer.



We already predicted that one of the biggest tattoo trends of 2019 would be scribble art. So, why not get your wave etched in this crayon-like texture?



Put a unique twist on the simple wave by turning it into a hybrid design of a sun and an ocean ripple.



If the words "simple" and "minimalist" aren't in your vocabulary, get inspired by Kehlani's massive wave tattoo that covers the left side of her neck.



When it comes to painful tattoos, the foot is a hot spot for discomfort. Even so, this watery symbol will look cool when you go barefoot this summer.



You don't have to forgo intricate details in your tattoo just because it's tiny.



Yes, small wrist tattoos are still cool. The highly visible location will ensure that your new, wavy ink is a conversation starter.
