June may be Pride Month, but members and allies of the LGBTQ+ community know the real work lasts forever, and celebrating your identity [1] doesn't have to be limited to a month-long occasion. If you want to make your eternal support for the cause permanent, you could consider getting a tattoo of one of the celebration's most recognisable symbols [2], the rainbow.

For decades, the rainbow flag has boldly represented the movement supporting LGBTQ+ rights, and though its colours have evolved in recent years to be more inclusive of other sexual orientations and gender identities, its meaning remains the same, and getting a tattoo of one is a touching way to quite literally wear your pride on your sleeve. While getting a typically rainbow flag etched onto your body works just fine, there are tons of creative ways to make your Pride tattoo stand out. From rainbow semicolons to multicoloured puzzle pieces, check out some of our favourite Pride-themed tattoos ahead.
