15 Behind-the-Ear Tattoos That Are Easy to Adore (PHOTOS)
Picking the perfect spot for a tattoo can be tricky, but behind the ear is a long-time fave. It's a spot that's as easy to hide as it is to show off, and it's the perfect canvas for small statement tattoos. But choosing the perfect piece to put there can be a challenge.
We gathered up some of our favorite behind-the-ear tattoos for inspiration, and they range from small and subtle to big statement pieces. We love 'em all, and we also love that many of these people assured us that getting a tat behind the ear doesn't hurt as much as you've been told. You ready to book your next appointment yet?
