8 Amazing Birth Year Tattoo Ideas
You will be surprised to discover that although birth years simply comprise numbers, there are quite a number of ways to present them as body art. Scroll below to check out this list of cool birth year tattoo ideas that will surely stun you.
1. Birth Year Tattoo Above The Knee
Despite being one of the strongest joints of the body, the general knee area is said to be one of the most painful placements for tattoos. This makes above-knee tattoos unique pieces of body art, sure to attract attention due to being less common. The tattoo above depicts a face partially concealed by a birth year. It sits just above the knee, making for a fun and stylish permanent adornment. This can be a cool idea to commemorate one’s love, devotion, or admiration of an idol, or the self.
2. Birth Year Stomach Tattoo
A stomach tattoo offers discretion but also the opportunity for a high-impact reveal. Baring the waist itself is a bold and trendy fashion choice that paired with a tattoo makes for a lethal style statement. This placement gives you the creative freedom to play around with the size and design of the tattoo you desire. But do keep in mind that it could be painful, especially closer to the ribcage, during the tattooing process and requires maintenance as weight fluctuations in the area can impact its look.
3. Birth Year 2000 Tattoo
This tattoo design is an example of how one can commemorate a birth year, with great value or personal symbolism to the wearer, in an extravagant manner. It features a lily that may represent May as the birth month and qualities such as rebirth, fertility, motherhood, love, and so on. A silky ribbon is engraved with the birth year. Overall, this single tattoo may communicate a host of meanings depending on the personal beliefs of the wearer.
4. Birth Year 2001 Tattoo
If you are not easily impressed with extravagance or grandeur, this tattoo promises a classic design that has a simplistic charm. The design simply comprises the birth year in a delicate and elegant font with wavy lines on both sides to complement the numerals, demonstrating how one graceful stroke here and there can do the trick if planned right.
5. Birth Year 2002 Tattoo
Here is a birth year tattoo that brilliantly bridges the gap between intricacy and simplicity. The concept of the tattoo is quite basic in terms of creativity, flaunting the birth year of a loved one in a frame. However, it is the ornate design of the frame that steals the show with its tastefully gliding baroque-style foliage patterns. The font also has a unique style of shading and shows how such additional elements can improve the look of your tattoo.
6. Minimalist Birth Year Tattoo
Minimalist tattoos can be big or small, straightforward or mysterious, and colorful or monotone. It depends on the creativity of the wearer and artist. The tattoo does not even have to mention the actual year. Instead, it can be a simple illustration of something associated with that year. For instance, a basic 98 tattoo like above, done in a rather simple design, sends your message across loud and clear. It is the birth year with a patterned underline. You may choose the size, font, as well as placement of your choice as minimalist tattoos suit most placements.
7. Parents’ Birth Year Tattoo
For many people, their parents happen to be their first-ever idols. Hence, getting their birth years etched on your skin is a great way to show your appreciation and love for them. There are various ways of presenting these two dates in your tattoos, such as writing them in one line, separated by a heart or a flower that represents love or family. The above tattoo places them one above the other with an ampersand on the left. They can also be decorated with frames and portraits for a personalized touch.
8. Birth Year Neck Tattoo
Looking for a cool and edgy birthday tattoo idea? Then getting the year tattooed on your neck is a unique way to celebrate your special day. The neck is a cool tattoo placement for those with a rebellious streak. It is a visible placement that can be concealed with long hair or tall collars, but when exposed, ensures a strong impact. But if you want a neck placement with a hint of seduction, it has to be at the nape or slightly lower, peeking out from your collar line and enticing a viewer. The birth year at the neck placement can inspire curiosity, conversation, and a bit of playful flirting.
