Okay, so this one isn't technically on the ear, but it's so gorgeous that we had to include it anyway. The fine detail on the rose is exquisite, and the placement right behind the ear is quite fetching as well.

This ear tattoo certainly isn't for the faint of heart, but if you love all things spooky and macabre, you might just have to give this ink a try. It'll definitely cause a double-take or two, that's for sure.

Geometric minimalist tattoos are all the rage right now -- and what a fun and innovative way to decorate your tragus.

How innovative is this helix tattoo? Inking the top of your ear is quite unique, and the bright blue blossoms add a beautiful pop of color.

Here's one for the space fans -- a mini galaxy that decorates your whole ear. From Saturn on the tragus, to the moon in conch, to the rings on the upper helix, this delicate dot work pretty much belongs in a museum.
