16 Minimalist Tattoos That Will Have You Booking Your Visit To The Tattoo Parlour

Minimalist tattoos are some of the latest in body-art trends. Some people even revert to a traditional Stick’N’Poke method that has become more popular in recent years, however, tattoos should always be done by a registered professional.

Tattoos are some of the oldest art known to man, dating back as far as 3100 BC. The word itself originates from 18th century Polynesia, meaning ‘to write.’

Now, we do far more than writing. Our tattoos have deep meaning, and for us who want to make a more simplified statement, these 16 minimalist tattoos will get you thinking about your next fresh ink!
