Ear tattoos may be small. Some are inked along the edge of the ears, while others go for the lobe and even on the outer ear. Having your ears inked is great if you really want a tattoo without flaunting it, especially if you have parents who are against them. At the same time, the tiny design is what makes ear tattoos beautiful.

Getting an ear pierced is painful. Having the piercing on the cartilage part is much more painful. And then, there’s the thought of having needles constantly working through the skin on the ear – inside and outside – and making that buzzing sound. If you think you can handle it, then go for ear tattoos. Otherwise, it’s a no go.

It’s also worth knowing that tattooing around the ear, which is one of the most sensitive body parts, can have risks. The process might result in headaches, migraines and even temporary jaw lock.

You also have to practice post-tattoo care, like making sure the tattooed area doesn’t come in contact with shampoos for a couple of weeks. Despite the risks, people still go-for them.

Even celebrities love them!
