Whether the arrow is about to pierce a heart or not, a feathery addition to this pointy piece will give it an elevated look. The dark blue, understated details of the feather itself blends in seamlessly with the overall design for a major tattoo win.

Is there a personal meaning behind your tattoo? You don't need to show it off all of the time in order for it to be worth it. If you want to keep your new work under wraps, find a spot like the rib cage that can be kept a bit more private.

If you can't figure out where you want to permanently place your feather, try out an unexpected spot for a stylish statement. From the middle of your calf to an off-center spot on your arm, a minimalist feather will look perfect floating across any area.

Speaking of placement, behind the ear is an ideal spot to showcase some feather tattoo work. The natural curve of this soft spot matches the dreamy shape of a feather to perfection. Show it off whenever you want, or let your hair down to hide it if need be.

We couldn't forget about some other types of feathers. Of course, wings of all sorts have feathers, but these minimalist angel wings made us stop in our tracks.
