Behind the ear tattoos are tattoos that are done behind the ear, usually on the inner or outer part of the ear. This is an area that is often overlooked as a potential tattoo spot, but it can be a great place to get a tattoo as it is easily hidden and can be quite stylish. The area behind the ear is also an ideal spot for a small tattoo, as the skin is relatively thin and the area is quite small. This means that a small, detailed tattoo can be easily achieved in this area.
