The colour red serves as a metaphor for many different things – love, passion, blood and fire. Back in 2016, Kylie Jenner got a tattoo on the fleshy portion of her inner arm. This brand-new tattoo is entirely red and quite delicate. Additionally, Jenner has a red heart on the back of her arm and the phonetic spelling of “Sanity” engraved in red on her hip.
If you’re into tattoos and think that’s cool, try crimson ink, like Kylie Jenner, if you want to stand out or spice up your collection of body art. The hue is obviously about to have a moment. Additionally, there are plenty of inspiration options, thanks to the colour’s over a million TikTok views and how current and entertaining it is.
So if you’re planning to get a red ink tattoo, we’ve got some pretty good inspos you should check out:
Red Rose
Getting a traditional red-ink rose is a wise choice. The flash of colour will feel perfect, whether you choose a fine line abstract design or a botanically accurate flower.
Lightning Bolt
Red ink can seem like less of a commitment if you’re hesitant to get your first tattoo or want something really subtle. Choose a small design, such as this tiny lightning bolt, to further smooth the transition. What could be better? The process will be completed quickly because the design is so tiny.
Cheeky Chat
In red ink, cheeky tattoos seem even more daring. Get a humorous saying, such as “I’m fine, thank you,” permanently tattooed on your arm so that everyone will see it. In this manner, you won’t even need to respond to inquiries because the tat speaks for itself.
Scripted
Tattoos in script or cursive have been popular for a long time, but they look really fantastic when done in red ink. Whether you wear a simple phrase, like “kindness,” on your arm, wrist, or upper thigh, it looks especially lovely in this seductive tone.
Botanicals
Botanical tattoos are always stunning, but red ink makes them even more so. If you select flowers that hold a specific value for you or someone in your life, they might also be important. It’s also entirely acceptable if you simply enjoy the way a bouquet looks.
Crimson Butterfly
A stunning butterfly tattoo with a nod to the ’90s is always a good choice. Because it’s so damn charming, this design is a social media fan favourite. Use red ink to make the attractive insect uniquely yours, allowing the features to pop.
Cherries
For tattoo designs with a classic aesthetic, a crimson tone feels just perfect. You might picture sparkling cherries, disco balls, or a set of dice. Red would look great on even a cowboy boot tattoo.
Fresh Strawberry
Unquestionably adorable, especially when done in crimson ink, are fruit tattoos. By drawing attention to the juicy details, the red leans into the overall freshness of the situation. Consider a slice of watermelon, a pomegranate, or a little red chili pepper for further red ink meal suggestions.
Hearts
Red ink tattoos must be discussed in relation to hearts. Try a heart with three distinct lines like the one seen above, a tiny minimalist pattern, or a heart that is completely filled in for an extra dose of eye-catching red.
