33 Adorably Tiny Tattoos by Artist BUOY That Might Make You Finally Book That Appointment

I've always loved the idea of getting a tattoo, but somehow I never commit. Maybe it's the permanence. Maybe it's the overthinking. Or maybe I was just waiting to discover BUOY. The moment I saw their work, I instantly got it - these aren't just tattoos, they're tiny moments of art. Minimalist, whimsical, and full of personality, BUOY's designs feel like something between a doodle in your notebook and a dream you don't want to wake up from.

Filled with delicate animals caught in whimsical moment, these tattoos are the opposite of loud - they whisper something personal. Whether it's a shy cat hiding behind a wine glass or a wizard frog trying to keep a cauldron from bubbling over, every one of BUOY's designs feels like it belongs to someone who didn't just walk into a tattoo shop on a dare - they meant it.

So if you've been flirting with the idea of ink but haven't found "the one," this might be it. You don't need a sleeve to make a statement - sometimes, a single tiny tattoo says everything.
