A belly button tattoo is one of those things that feels like a secret—or a statement, depending on how you wear it. Maybe you love the idea of something cute that peeks out when you wear a crop top or bikini. Or maybe you want something delicate that’s just for you and whoever gets close enough to see it.
Either way, the belly button area is tricky because it’s curved and moves with you.
You need a design that flows with your body, not against it. These ideas do exactly that—soft, feminine, and made for the spot.
