The Best Heart Tattoo Ideas

5.0· 20 reviews · 17 artists

Michael did a great job!!! I am obsessed with how straight his lines are lol he was very personable and went above and beyond to make sure you’re comfortable even to letting you pick the music playing. Will definitely be back for more work

Erick was amazing from start to finish. He was so thorough in explaining how the session was going to go, what his ideas were, and what he put together. He was sooo friendly and personable the entire time, I will absolutely be back for my next piece. I love how my tattoo turned out and I can’t wait until next time!

Where does a heart tattoo look best?

Placement depends on the size and detail you want: forearms, shoulders, and thighs give an artist room for detail, while smaller heart pieces suit the wrist, ribs, ankle, or behind the ear. Ask your artist for placement advice before you commit.
