Fairies are not new to us anymore. We all learned to love these cute little mythical creatures — from the renowned Bibbidi Bobbidi Boop of Cinderella’s fairy godmother to the sparkling pixie dust of Tinkerbell. Fashion-wise, fairies are very popular among women with their beautiful wings and pixies. These fairies are generally known as little creatures that bring good luck and lots of magic.
However, fairies are more than just childhood character that spread happiness and does all the good stuff. Fairy, derived from Old French term faierie, literally means a woman who is skilled in magic and enchantment. They are mythical creatures with outstanding wings that used to fly around and enchant human beings and creature.
Today, fairies are just a melancholy to our childhood that we all used to love and adore. They remind us that despite the dark and foggy reality in front of us, there are still colorful and sparkling creatures ready to enlighten our world. Fairies remind us that we can still enjoy our vibrant youth and believe in happy ever after.

It’s also placed in a spot wherein we can easily see it.

11. Tremendous Back Vines and Fairy Tattoo
Who would have thought fairies would go well with vines as well? Vines are usually associated with flowers and roses and it’s very seldom only that we see other elements look good with it. This art is one of the great examples that fairies and vines can be versatile too. The simplicity in this one draws out the elegance and beauty of the art itself. Indeed, the responsible artist in this is very talented.
12. Of life and death
Fairies are usually associated with life and vibrancy. But this one is dark. Dark in a unique and interesting way. We have a fairy [representing life and color] while holding a skull [that emanates death and afterlife]. The contrasts of both elements (the fairy and the skull) surprisingly balance each other out. Both bring a vibe that we seldom feel and see in other tattoos.
13. Full upper back fairy tattoo
This tattoo idea is unique in every angle and every way. The contrast of the warm and dark colors between both scapula having a gothic fairy in the middle is the ultimate highlight of this art.
14. Missing Link Fairy Tattoo
We often connote beauty with perfection and completion. However, who would have thought that perfection sometimes comes when something is blatantly missing? This fairy tattoo idea is a perfect expression of one’s wholeness out of its own emptiness.
15. Fairy and Bird Tattoo

20. Simplicity is Beauty
Sometimes, less is more. A great beauty can be revealed in monochrome and simplicity. This tattoo idea highlights the beauty of the wings and less on the fairy herself.
21. A Blast of Colors
This is the complete opposite of the previous post. Here we have a very strategically colored fairy tattoo in a manner that all colors beautifully contemplates the art itself. This tattoo idea is perfect for you gals out there who have a bubbly and upbeat personality.
22. Of Fairy, Dandelions, and Freedom
Doves often connote freedom and peace. Aside from its aesthetic surface, the art also provides an evocative meaning of prison and freedom – a person caged from external and internal circumstances now blowing out liberty and amity.
23. Beyond Colors and Description
Sometimes, the art speaks for itself. No words, no description, no explanation needed – just pure vision and emotions.
24. Pastel Colored Fairy Tattoo
Nothing is more feminine than a fairy colored in cool pastel pantones. This color mishmash idea brings out the cute and adorable little girl in you.
25. Silhouette Fairy Tattoo

26.Ballerina Fairy Tattoo
This is one of the most graceful tattoos you could ever put in your scapula. Who would not love a fairy dancing ballet so effortlessly? A motion put action to a 2D art. When motion, colors, lines, and shapes are combined, one very charming art is created.
27. Fairies alter ego
Not all fairies are cute and fancy. Sometimes, they are creepy and dark without wings and dust. If you may ask, “is this even a fairy?” Then I say YES. Fairies, originally, a woman skilled in magic, and who knew the power and virtue of words, of stones, and of herbs.
28. Realistically Drawn Fairy Tattoo
I don’t know much, but one thing I know — that this fairy tattoo art is one of the most realistically drawn fairy face ever. One glance is enough to captivate your right brain and release hormones that trigger awe and amusement. This can only be drawn by a well experienced and very talented artist.
29. Tranquil Fairy Tattoo
This pale, subtle, and light-colored fairy tattoo gives off a calm and soothing feeling. There is just something to the way the fairy was drawn and colored. Everything about this reminds us of inner peace on a gloomy day under a cherry blossom tree. This would be perfect for calm and timid girls who would like to showcase their individuality.
30. Watercolor Fairy Tattoo
Perfection is good but sometimes it can be boring. Crazy-outside-the-box ideas often times are most effective in catching interests. Said concept is evident in this fairy tattoo. We often see arts with colors within range, it is seldom that you see an art with blasted colors and still look beautiful.
31. Gothic Fairy Tattoo
Are you a 90s baby? Or someone who was born before and was able to witness goth and emo era? Then this fairy tattoo idea would be a lot familiar to you. In the early 2000s, the goth concept became a widespread and characters with dark colors and sad aura was famous.
32. Faith, Trust… and Pixie Dust
I am sure you are familiar with Peter Pan. I mean, who isn’t? Peter Pan is a well-loved Disney movie with Peter Pan, Wendy, lost boys, and of course, Tinkerbell. Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust are three of the main ingredients for you to fly. When I was still a kid, I thought those were just the ingredients for me to fly. As I grew older, I realized that they are not just ingredients — they are everyday essentials. We already know faith and trust. But what about pixie dust? Yes, pixie dust isn’t real. They are just a product of kid’s imagination and creative mind. But that’s exactly the point. In life, we don’t always need to follow the pattern and remain on the system. We need a little creativity and lot of imagination for us to become greater and achieve even something bigger.
33. Neck Fairy Tatoo
The neck is perhaps one of the most visible parts of the entire human body. What’s good about neck tattoo is that it can easily be visible or easily hidden (for girls) whatever the mood or occasion is.
34.Monochromatic Scapula Fairy Tattoo
The emotion in this fairy tattoo art is really vivid and visible. You can immediately feel at a glance. The artist conveyed an immediate emotion making it the highlight of the whole tattoo idea. The choice of color and pantones is really a well-done job since monochrome is popular nowadays.
35. Magical Fairy Tattoo
Another example of monochromatic idea producing one elegant looking anklet tattoo. The simplicity of one shaded tattoo, depicting shadows and emboss, is what makes it best for beginner tattoo enthusiasts. The simplicity of this fairy tattoo idea gives off elegance, charm, and femininity all at the same time.

37. Soporific Fairy Tattoo
Colors bring life yet, sometimes, uninflected shades bring emotions and artistry. This is one of the greatest examples how a simple monotonous art brings so many feelings and sentiments.
38. Pixie Dust Name Tattoo
I know you have seen Peter Pan the movie, because if you haven’t yet, then I’m going to judge you and your taste. Kidding aside, in Peter Pan, we know that pixie dust create objects, lights, sparks, and anything magical — including flying. One thing that hasn’t crossed my mind is its ability to carve out a name. This tattoo idea brings out the best and the charm in a pixie dust. This is a go-to tattoo idea especially to those girls who would love to put their name to their body, or just someone who would love to remember their loved ones.
39. Full Back Fairy Tattoo
Back tattoos are sexy. I repeat, back tattoos are sexy. Placing is one of the most important thing when considering inking. We don’t just rely on the artistry skills of the tattoo guy, we also consider the canvas. Canvas brings life and motion to the art itself. Just look at this exhibit and focus on how the curves of this lady brings motion to this 2D art.
40. Realistic Fairy Tattoo
Will you just look at how overly realistic this tattoo was drawn? I mean, it is as if you are looking at a real girl with great wings! This is truly mindblowing and astonishing as we only often see 2D tattoos. This is something that a great artist would do. Aside from art choice and canvas, one of the most basic things a tattoo enthusiast should consider is the ability of his or her tattoo artist.
41. The Fairy and The Dark Side of the Moon
This tattoo idea is best for people who appreciate the beauty of darkness. We generally perceive fairies as colorful and vibrant, seldom we see the beauty beneath their shadows and silhouette. This is a great example that even in the saddest and vibrant-less colors, the beauty of the art itself is emphasized. Remember, the moon has two sides — the one who brings light to the dark world and the one who hides yet is calm.
42. Ankle Fairy Tattoo
People, girls especially, love the simplicity of the ankle tattoo. They are small, simple, yet elegant and chic. And that is the beauty of the ankle tattoos — they are small yet terrible. They can easily be covered, yet when unveiled, they emit a stylish aura especially for the one wearing it. Friendly tip: ankle is a great spot for you to place your tattoo. However, do not go overboard with the size and colors. They are best effective when they are simple and small.
43. Magical Tinkerbell Tattoo
Everybody loves Tinkerbell and her cheerful attitude. She is best loved among children, and children at heart (like me), who once dreamt of flying and throwing pixie dust here and there. This Tinkerbell tattoo is appealing in all aspect. First, it is Tinkerbell. Case closed. Second, it has pixie dust, like duh! But lastly, the color choice. I love how it was patterned to the color of the galaxy. It just brings color and vibrancy to the pixies and Tinkerbell herself. So relive your youth and have faith, trust, and pixie dust!
44. Chic Fairy Tattoo
Nothing speaks more of a youthful girl than pink with blue hues. I am not stereotyping, or whatever, this is just a common knowledge that most of the young girls like blue, purple, and pink. How do I know? Because I do too! Kidding aside, this tattoo idea is great for young ladies out there, or young lady (at heart) who would like to relive their youth or express their youthfulness.
45. Of Shapes and Angles
Do you love both fairies and geometry? Worry no more. Here’s a perfect design just for you. However, if you really want to have this kind of tattoo, make sure that you first search for a talented tattoo artist. Geometric and symmetrical tattoo ideas are not your everyday tatoo. This involves great skill and certain degree of perfection.
46. Wings and Fairy
Fairies are well loved due to their charm and sophisticated wings. Just like how flying has three basic ingredients (faith, trust, and pixie dust), great tattoo also has three main elements — Placing, Skill, and Patience. Fairies are best emphasized with great color combination in greatly drawn wings, hence, the Skill. You need to assess the skill of your tattoo artist because tattoos are lifetime. That will be forever placed in your skin, unless you do some laser thing. Placing — because your canvas creates motion to your tattoo. A tattoo, no matter how good it is, when placed in a bad area becomes unappealable. Placing is important. Patience — because you don’t want to speed up the process of your the art. Patience is a virtue. All good things come to those who wait.
47. Sitting Fairy Tatto
Fairy and moon, when combined, connotes a feminine and mystical feature. The fairy, being the obvious centerpiece of this tattoo art, release peace and comfort while looking mischievous and vibrant. Weird in all sense, but that is the beauty of an art. Sometimes, we get an unexplainable feeling with unexplainable features.
48. Bianca and Her Tinkerbell Fairy Tatto
Tinkerbell is the most classical fairy idea ever. Whenever we think of fairies, the first thing that comes to mind is Tinkerbell. No wonder she is greatly known among little girls and women. Her tiny hourglass body, blonde hair, cute wings, and pixies greatly attract almost everyone. For your next tattoo idea, instead of puttingTinkerbell’ss name beneath her image, why not put your name instead? This will be a great tattoo idea as it connotes that one, like Bianca, can be as cute and mischievous like Tinkerbell.
49. Wrist Fairy Tatto
Personally, I think that the wrist is the most elegant place to put your tattoo. Just like how we wear bracelets and watches, tattoos can greatly embrace our wrist area with arts and craft. However, be wary of your enthusiasm when putting ink in your wrist area. Just like this tattoo idea, wrist tattoos are best when they are simple, small, and maybe a little muted. Just imagine how much you hate wearing too much shining and sparkling bracelets in your wrists, that is thee same with absurd and excessive tattoos.
50. Simple Ankle Fairy Tatto
A little goes a long way. A simple and muted tattoo indeed attracts a lot of attention. There is pure beauty in clean and uncomplicated art. Sometimes, in less, there is more. You also would not want to overdo it, especially when placing tattoo in the ankle. Just like how ridiculous it would look on your wrist, the same goes with your ankle. Again, a reminder: less is more.
