Pros and Cons of Tattoos Behind the Ear:

Pros:
– Small and discreet design options
– Almost invisible and easy to cover with long hair

– Popular choices include flowers, floral designs, words, dates, and symbols

Cons:
– Painful due to fine skin and proximity to the head
– Ink is more permanent
– Discretion depends on design and hair length
– More likely to fade due to tender and thin skin
– Skin behind the ear has fewer pores to “grab” the ink
– May need touch-ups, especially if made with color ink
– Tattoo artists advise waiting a few months for full integration with the skin before getting it refreshed
– Cost ranges between $100 and $250, depending on design and duration

– Elevating the tattoo while sleeping can promote blood flow and hasten healing
