Elephant tattoo

Small, simple and drawn in line: that’s the common thread here. You’ll find line art elephants with little hearts, minimalist outlines sketched in a few open strokes, and fine-line elephants shown in three-quarter view, ears spread wide.
At this size, an elephant tattoo fits the inner wrist, the ankle, the spot behind the ear, the forearm, the upper arm or the back of the calf. The tiniest outlines disappear neatly under a watch strap or a sleeve, while the fine-line elephants need a little more room for their ears and tusks, so give them the forearm. Each one develops to the same blue-black.
People often pick an elephant for what it brings to mind. A long memory. Close family ties. A calm, unhurried kind of strength.
Wear and care
Every elephant tattoo here is printed with jagua ink, which develops in the surface layers of the skin, so it looks like a real tattoo, not a decal. It’s on in two minutes, max. It looks pale at first, then darkens over 24 to 48 hours. Keep it dry and don’t rub it for the first 8 hours; after that it’s waterproof. Plan on up to two weeks; hands and feet lose it sooner. PPD-free and vegan. Here’s what affects how long a temporary tattoo lasts.
