A wrist tattoo could be the ideal ink. You can flaunt it without disrobing, yet you can just as easily conceal it with a strategically stack of bangles (think: when meeting the BF's straight-laced parents). Plus, the wrist's limited real estate lends itself to the tasteful tiny tattoos we love so much.

But even if you're ready to adorn your wrist with a permanent design, the wealth of inspiration on Instagram and Pinterest can make it downright overwhelming to choose the right one. That's why we've hunted down the prettiest, most meaningful wrist tattoos -- from itty-bitty line drawings to intricate, sprawling sketches. So get ready to ring up your local tattoo artist, because by the time you scroll through all 27 of these stunning wrist tattoo designs, you'll be itching to get inked.
