Some of the best tattoo designs [1] are born from something that inspires you, is close to your heart, or embodies your beliefs. Body art allows you to make a statement or tell a story, and that's what has likely energized people to get tattoos inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement: to permanently mark what they stand for.
From "Black Lives Matter" written in script [2] to the Black power fist, there are various ways to show your solidarity and dedication to the cause, while also adding a beautiful piece of ink to your collection. A quick scroll through Instagram shows Black Lives Matter tattoos of all sizes, from large-scale thigh pieces to smaller tributes located discretely on your wrist [3]. No matter what you get, the message is the same: Black lives matter, today and every damn day, and we're not going to stop staying it.
If you're thinking about getting a Black Lives Matter-inspired tattoo, we rounded up a collection of thoughtful ideas, ahead.
