Simple and Elegant: 63 Meaningful Wrist Tattoos for Women (2024)

If you’re looking for wrist tattoos for women, we’ve curated 63 ideas to inspire you!

I have been toying with the idea of getting a second tattoo for quite some time. I got my first when I was 20-years-old, and while I don’t regret the experience of it all, I wish I’d chosen a design with more meaning. I was more interested in everything a tattoo represented at the time – independence, rebellion, and becoming my own person – and instead of having something designed specifically for me, I hastily chose something from a wall display, signed my waiver, and the rest is history.

It wasn’t the most intelligent thing I’ve ever done, and I promised myself that if I ever got another tattoo, I would be much more intentional and deliberate with the design I chose.

I’ve been searching, bookmarking, and pinning wrist tattoos for women on and off for about a year now. I’ve spent countless hours thinking through what I want my tattoo to represent, and I’ve sorted through thousands of tattoo designs. I’ve considered symbol tattoos like butterflies, hearts, feathers, flowers, infinity signs, and arrows. I’ve fallen in love with dozens of elegant bracelet tattoos, and since I have a thing for quotes, I’ve searched high and low for the perfect combination of words to express myself as well. I’ve even considered inking the roman numerals of my daughter’s birthday on my wrist.

There are so many options!
