Sun’s out, tats out. Spending the day at the beach is the best way to show off your ink. Bikinis and board shorts give you plenty of room to showcase your latest body art. From aquatic tats that match your setting to abstract tats that complement your swimsuit, we’ve got your beach body covered. If you know you’ll be showing some skin on the sand, it’s time to get temporarily tatted.
1. Jellyfish
To get in a beachy mood, mark yourself with one of the ocean’s coolest creatures. Older than dinosaurs, jellyfish get by without a brain or a heart and use their groovy tentacles to sting animals that want to eat them—pretty smart for an organism with nothing going on upstairs. Celebrate these umbrella-shaped animals with a tat that won’t sting.
Product Name: Agua Viva
Dimensions: 1.0 x 2.6 inches
Price: $21
2. Wave
Long after you’ve boogie-boarded or surfed your heart out, keep the ocean’s waves close to your heart with our small, simple wave tattoo. From your collarbone or your ankle to the back of your neck or your bicep, you’ll be close to the beach while you’re sitting on it and when you’re back home.
Product Name: Ola
Dimensions: 2.6 x 0.4 inches
Price: $21
3. Anchor
Love to sail? Just want to be anchored to your beach chair? Try out this temporary anchor tat. If metaphors are more your jam, consider this old saying: “Life’s roughest storms prove the strength of our anchors.” Hopefully, you don’t have a care in the world while your toes are in the sand, but if you do, at least you have a cool tat!
Product Name: Sirimiri
Dimensions: 2.6 x 1.6 inches
Price: $21
4. Octopus
Go all out with an octopus tattoo for your day trip to the beach. This eight-legged beast is known for its ability to squirt ink at its enemies (blinding them!), so it only makes sense that this tattoo is heavily inked. Octopuses have three hearts, so if you’re a guy or gal with a big heart, an octopus is a great choice. Bonus: when it’s time to cover up, this creature’s legs look gnarly peeking out of short sleeves. Fun fact: two thirds of an octopus’s neurons are in its tentacles rather than its brain, meaning that while the brain is busy thinking about what’s for lunch, the tentacles can do their own thing. If you’ve got a big heart and limbs with a mind of their own, this is really the perfect tat for you.
Product Name: Eight Foot
Dimensions: 3.0 x 3.6 inches
Price: $23
5. Rose
Have a bikini that shows off your breastbone? Fill that space with our elegant rose tattoo. Big enough to add interest but small enough not to take over, this tattoo will complement many swimsuits. And it’s always good to have a reminder that every rose has its thorn—especially when there are cute volleyball players checking you out across the sand.
Product Name: Amber Flush
Dimensions: 2.2 x 2.5 inches
Price: $21
6. Phases of the Moon
This tattoo of the phases of the moon looks bangin’ horizontally or vertically, and since we have the moon to thank for the ocean’s waves, it’s all too appropriate for the beach. From sunup to sundown, this tattoo brings science to the beach, and looks especially great creeping down the neck or back.
Product Name: Eigengrau
Dimensions: 0.5 x 4.5 inches
Price: $23
For a different take on the lunar theme, consider this alternative:
Product Name: Vielen Monden
Dimensions: 0.5 x 4.5 inches
Price: $23
7. Geometric Lotus
This lotus-inspired tattoo is the perfect to showcase some underboob at the beach. Place it over your breastbone for a sexy accent to your swimwear.
Product Name: Nama
Dimensions: 3.5 inches
Price: $23
8. Starfish
Give the humble starfish a seat at the table with this sketch-inspired tattoo. This tattoo will get you in the mood for sand and surf, and may even inspire some subconscious kindness, thanks to the infamous Starfish Parable.
Product Name: Aster Eidos
Dimensions: 1.25 x 1.25 inches
Price: $19
