3. Delicate Fairy Tattoos for Women

This finely etched black and gray tattoo is elegant and brilliant. There are numerous technical applications fully expressing the tattooist’s skill in crafting unique, fine line shading. It’s a light piece but one built to last with its intricacy and crisp defining outlines. The fairy‘s dress in particular looks amazing, meshed with interconnecting cross-work stitching that contrasts against the deft negative space found in the arms and flower petals.

This one’s a delicate yet strong concept and tattoo. Depicting this little fairy as a faceless imp seems strange — because clearly, she looks like Tinker Bell — but works within the presentation of the ink. I love how she sits demurely on a cloud, encased mainly in negative space and small flourishes of light ink shading. Choosing to match her dress and shoes in light green works as a technical touch as well.

This fairy tattoo design is a lovely piece of classical sketch-style tattooing. Framing shape or contrasting colors – think ground and/or air effects – added to the effective black and gray ink would really send it to the next level.
