Anchors, Astrological Signs, & 35+ Other Trendy Tattoo Designs That Are Gonna Be Outdated in 10 Years
Infinity Loops
Let’s start with a classic. Who knows when exactly this trend surfaced, but you can’t have lived through the 2010s without seeing this tattoo all over Pinterest. Any and every young girl was dying to have one.
Thankfully, many grew out of that desire before actually going through with it, but others did not and will forever have this cheesy little squiggle on their chest or wrist. Sometimes, one shouldn’t follow the trends.
Love in a Pretty Script
Love — a word that carries many meanings in the English language. You can love pineapple pizza (back off, haters), love your dog, love your family, love your partner…. The list goes on and on. That’s precisely the reason it’s such a boring tattoo.
What do love tattoos represent, exactly? What’s the point of getting something so vague on your body? Years from now, people with “Love” tattoos will be wishing they had gotten something more interesting.
White Ink, Anywhere
White ink tattoos, while perhaps more unique than the typical black ink, are now super common. They’re a bit controversial, as some feel they look like odd scars instead of tattoos. The ink also fades faster than normal tattoos.
The worst part of this one is that on top of being white ink, it’s also on the hand, which is going to fade even more quickly than white ink already does. Most white ink tattoos definitely won’t stick around for years and years.
Three Word Inspirational Quotes
Picture any suburban mom’s kitchen. There are usually some decorative pots, a weird clock made of forks or one that says “Time to eat!” (as if that isn’t obvious in a kitchen) — and then there’s always, always a cheesy word combination sign.
Some people are so in love with these word combo quotes that they take it a step farther and get it tattooed. But, those cheesy signs are on the out, as are the tattoo versions.
There are many reasons people get tattoos. Some simply like the art, and see their body as a canvas begging to be decorated. Others look for things that have a meaning behind them, like connection to a loved one or personal motivation. Whatever the motivation, some tattoos are just plain cringy. From tiny Roman numerals to palm trees, we’ve compiled a list of tattoo designs that may be trendy right now but will be totally outdated in the next 10 years.
