21 LGBTQ+ Pride Tattoos To Celebrate Love And Resilience
Everyone should be able to love freely. Pride tattoos, thoughtfully designed and often bursting with a beautiful array of colors, can off a comforting visual reminder to those who identify as LGBTQ+ that they are loved and not alone as we continue to fight for the community’s access to equal rights, support and safety.
Pride month may be around the corner but every day we’re tuning into some of our favorite queer romance films and making sure to support LGBTQ+ owned brands. For those who want to show their pride on their sleeve (or ear in the form of a delicately drawn cuff), here are some of our favorite pride tattoos to look to for inspiration.
1. Rainbow Spaceship
This spaceship leaving behind a trail of rainbow dust is the as cute as it is a hopeful for for the future.
2. Abstract Rainbow
For the art loves, this abstract take on the rainbow is incredibly chic and looks great on the wrist or ankle.
3. Infinity Heart
Love wins forever and this heart intertwined with the infinity sign is the perfect tattoo to celebrate that.
4. Rainbow Wristband
A rainbow wristband is a bold statement piece that is timeless.
5. Rainbow Lightning
A fun take on the rainbow is this colorful lightening bolt that pops on the leg or the upper arm.
6. Heart Sketch
This cute heart sketch has a playful quality that looks adorable as a mini tattoo.
7. Rainbow Semicolon
The semicolon represents the power and strength of living in your light and this beautiful piece is a priceless reminder.
8. Floral Wreath
Proud and a feminist, this work of art is a force of a nature.
9. Rainbow Stem
This rainbow stem is a minimalist take of the rainbow floral piece and compliments a black and white tattoo very well.
10. Mini Heart
Another cute, little rainbow heart because we can never have enough. Who says you have to stop at just one?
11. Rainbow Rose
Rainbows and rose silhouettes make a striking combination that you won’t be able to keep your eyes off of. To make it even more striking, try outlining it in a jet black that will be impossible to miss.
12. Spectrum
This simple spectrum block is incredibly eye-catching despite it’s size.
13. Linear Rainbow
An elongated take on the above, for those who could go for a sleeve.
14. Rainbow Cuff
We adorn our bodies with tattoos as jewelry so this rainbow cuff is a no-brainer when it comes to accessorizing our ears. Cover just the tip of the ear or the whole thing – if you’re unsure you can always add more bands.
15. Classic Rainbow
You can never go wrong with a classic rainbow. Best part is that it works anywhere!
16. Rainbow Outline
This rainbow outline has a delicateness to it that is so dreamy. This tattoo can honestly also work as a mini or larger piece but we think the mid-size is just right.
17. Brushstroke
A brushstroke is the symbol of an artist and there is no greater work of art then your body. This is a tattoo you’ll want to show off all day, every day.
18. Rainbow Pride
Sometimes you have to spell it out – when you do, why not opt for color and a groovy font?
19. Technicolor Dots
This technicolor dotted band is pretty and classic. It’s a design that works well with layering if you decide one simply isn’t enough.
20. Rainbow Calling
Birds and rainbows never fail when combined together. Because this piece requires a bit of space, the thigh is worth considering for placement.
21. Rainbow Lady
We’ve got love on the brain and it’s written all over our face with this lovely rainbow lady. This tattoo works great on the arm, leg, or even back if you want to go really big.
