13 Coquette Tattoo Ideas Inspired By Hailey Bieber's Dainty Bow

Minimalists can copy Bieber’s perfect baby bow tattoo, which is a teeny design you can put in an inconspicuous spot (like the side of your hand, à la the supermodel). Get it as a fine-line tat if you want to be super discrete.

All things angelic fall under the coquette category, too, and that includes designs like this little cherub napping on a puffy cloud. Go for a cartoony angel or a realistic cupid, and consider adding a pop of red ink to make it your own.

“While we all have different personalities, styles, and preferences, a small cupid or cherub can speak volumes about your coquettish nature without saying a word,” Gatsko tells Bustle.

A more realistic ribbon with looped bows and long, flowing ends is also chic. Ask your tattoo artist to include details like creases and waves for an added touch.

This dainty, droopy bow is another cutesy take on the ribbon tattoo trend, and the shadowing makes it feel so Lana Del Rey-coded.

To lean into the cutesy vibe, go for any type of heart tattoo, like this outline design. To up the coquette factor, add a romantic or Valentine’s-inspired touch, like a mini arrow.

Similar to Bieber’s bow, the micro design of this tattoo is what makes it extra sweet. According to Lorena Lorenzo, a tattoo artist and owner of Indigo ArTattoos in Toronto, Canada, some of the best coquette tattoos are minimalist. “They can be very dainty and subtle,” she tells Bustle.

Pearl details give off the same feminine vibe as hearts and bows, says Gatsko. To help the design stand out, place the gemstone inside a vintage-looking oyster shell, complete with shadowed ridges.

Red ink tattoos are becoming more popular, and they perfectly fit the coquette aesthetic. The crimson hue will make your bow really pop.

Lorenzo recommends looking at vintage jewelry for tattoo inspiration. While that might include pearl details or even something lacy, like a garter-inspired tattoo, a pink, faceted, heart-shaped jewel could also be pretty.

Placement is everything when it comes to coquette tattoos. According to Gatsko, they look best when they’re in flirty areas, like your shoulder, forearm, lower belly, or hip. This balletcore-style bow also works perfectly on the back of the neck.

Locket designs are another way to capture the coquette energy, says Gatsko. They harken back to the Victorian Regency era when this style of necklace was super trendy. Picture the costumes from Bridgerton, which are decked out with vintage, feminine details.

To really lean into the coquette vibes, go for three pink bows stacked in a row. It’s serving flirty ballerina in the best way.

You could also get your fave cute animal inked. “Cute little kittens, bunnies, and swans also make adorable coquette tattoos,” says Gatsko.

A tiny outline of a heart in a saucy spot like your collarbone is always a classic. This one is so tiny, but it’ll catch the eye and make you feel extra cute.
