The go-to best friend tattoo? Getting the exact same image, often in the exact same spot. However, you can still play around with variations of placement and size to make each one your own.

If you can’t agree on identical designs, maybe tweak the colors or orientation of the look to fit each of your personalities!

These hyper-realistic snails are so cool—the slight changes in their shells lets you play around with the exact design.

If one of you really isn’t feeling color, why not have one design in greyscale? These fine line sunflowers are stunning either way.

Tattoo Artist: Tilda

Your best friend is your other half, so why not split a design in two? Just make sure you’re both flexible enough to have them line up when you’re side by side!

They already live inside your mind 24/7, so why not have your best pal live on your skin? Depending on the style of your artist, these can be anything from loose sketches to caricatures.

Tattoo Artist: Blue

Maybe you both have a shared interest or favorite show, but can’t decide on just one piece—have your artist create two different tattoos, so they’ll reflect your individual personalities, while also being sister designs.

If you have a whole group you want to get inked up with, the variations on designs are endless! Get artsy with these different cartoon eyes.
