Minimalist wave temporary tattoo

This minimalist wave temporary tattoo captures ocean movement through clean curved lines in a compact format. The 5x5cm design (roughly cotopads-sized) suits those seeking subtle nature symbolism without bold imagery.

The pattern uses simple flowing lines to represent wave motion, avoiding intricate detail or shading. This approach creates a modern graphic aesthetic that works as standalone body art or pairs well with other small designs. The single-element composition keeps the focus on the wave's natural curve rather than decorative elements.

Our plant-based jagua ink penetrates the skin's outer layer for a matte finish, unlike synthetic transfers that sit on the surface with a glossy appearance. This natural approach means the design withstands water and friction, lasting 10 to 15 days compared to 3 to 5 days for standard temporary tattoos.

This compact size fits well on the forearm, shoulder, calf, or shoulder blade. The horizontal orientation works particularly well along the collarbone or following the natural lines of the forearm. Also suitable for testing placement before committing to permanent ink.

Good choice for ocean enthusiasts, surfers, or anyone drawn to water symbolism who prefers understated designs. The simple graphic style suits both daily wear and special occasions without drawing excessive attention.
