You can get just about any part of your body tattooed, so long as there’s an artist out there who’s willing to draw it. There are sternum designs for people who want ink that’s relatively easy to hide, finger tattoos for the more delicate designs, and even ones for your spine, perfect for those who want to make backless tops look even sexier. When it comes to your legs, though, there’s one area that’s often overlooked: your knees.
Considering there’s not much separating your skin from your bone in this particular area, knee tattoos are said to be pretty painful. Still, that doesn’t mean there haven’t been some daring people out there who’ve braved the pain and decked out the area with some true works of art. (Like Halsey, who got one that reads “Poor Thing.”) When done right, knee tattoos can be quite an unassuming and surprisingly chic placement.
From above the knee tattoos that are adorably tiny to more complex — and let’s face it: painful — knee cap prints, if you’re on the hunt for knee tattoo ideas, you’ve come to the right place. We went ahead and rounded up the best knee tattoos that we could find, so read ahead to get a head start on planning the perfect design for you.
