If you are looking for a splash of color, then this tiny beach in a bottle design is the way to go. It is a unique coastal inspired design that will definitely get many compliments.
2. Palm Tree and Wave Tattoo
This super small beach tattoo combines the two most important aspects of the beach - palm trees and ocean waves. It is a perfect ankle tattoo that is minimalistic, yet beachy.

Cowry shells are often overlooked when thinking of seashell tattoo designs, but they make STUNNING tattoos. This beautiful cowry shell makes a perfect tattoo idea for your collarbone area.
4. Shaka Hand Sign Tattoo
Shaka is a very common hand gesture used in Hawaii among surfers to mean "hang loose", "right on", "thank you", and other friendly messages that come with the laid back nature of Hawaii.
Shaka makes a super cute tattoo design that reminds you to always take it easy and not worry.
5. Pineapple with Waves Tattoo

Tattoo by: @waltwaltersontattoos
This isn't your typical (boring) pineapple tattoo. Instead, this wrist tattoo has character and an extra touch of beach life with its inner ocean waves and sun design. Also, this would look super cute on the ankle!
6. Sun and Wave Tattoo
Just like the palm tree and wave tattoo listed earlier, this sun and wave tattoo is a perfect representation of beach life.
It is minimalistic, dainty, and most importantly beachy. You could even consider getting a smaller version of this behind your ear.

7. Blue Wave Tattoo
So cute! It is such a great idea to put a pop of blue in the ocean wave design.
If you and your BFF are wanting a matching tattoo, then this would be a great option.
8. Turtle Tattoo
This might be my all time favorite beach tattoo. I mean, come on! This turtle design is SO CUTE. The side view of the turtle makes it more unique compared to the typical top view. Reminds me of the movie Nemo!
9. Sand Dollar Tattoo
Sand dollars are underrated. Everyone always gets the typical wave, turtle, sun, etc. which are all very cute, but sand dollars are just as pretty.
10. Seashell Tattoo Idea

Tattoos by: @fairy.tats
Fine lined seashell tattoos make the cutest dainty designs for beach girls. The best part is that no matter where you put them, they will always look good. For example, you could have them behind your ear, on your wrist, ankle, collar bone, fingers, etc.
11. Beachy Tattoo
I personally love that this tattoo is super thin and minimalistic. It gives the overall tattoo a very clean look that is small, yet still has a little more detail than just one individual design.

Mermaids are the queens of the sea, so adding one to your beachy tattoo theme is not a bad idea! This tattoo design is stunning and filled with detail. It is not a large, tacky mermaid . . . instead it is cute and classy.

This small beach tattoo idea is exactly what every beach girl wants. It is beachy and minimalistic, which is perfect for those of you who don't want anything too noticeable.

If you are looking for something a little more "elegant", this salt and sun tattoo is beautiful. Whether you are a beach fanatic or a surfer, this tattoo is definitely one you will connect with.
17. Small Hibiscus Flower Tattoo
