22 GORGEOUS SNAKE TATTOOS FOR WOMEN 

A snake tattoo can represent many things, including fertility and eternity. Since snakes shed their skin, they also symbolize change, new beginnings, and healing. We like this symbolism because it reminds us that we can let go of what’s not working and move forward. Snake tattoos are empowering, making them great for women who need motivation or those who have moved on to brighter times after tough experiences. To show how beautiful these tattoos can be, we’ve found 43 amazing snake tattoo ideas. You’ll find colorful snakes, snakes with floral patterns, and more. There’s something here for everyone.

SNAKE AND FLOWERS RIB TATTOO

When decorating a snake tattoo with detailed patterns like flowers, it’s easy to overshadow the main design. However, this rib cage tattoo shows just the outlines of the flowers, which keeps the overall design simple and light.

This tattoo features a snake wrapping around the ankle. While the design is in black ink, the snake has a striking red tongue and a beautiful pattern. It’s a bold and eye-catching tattoo that will look fantastic with your summer outfits!

SNAKE AND A LIONESS TATTOO DESIGN

If you’re looking for a fierce tattoo, this one might be perfect for you. It features a snake wrapping around the wrist and a lion tattooed higher up on the arm.

TINY SNAKE FINGER TATTOO

Looking for a tiny tattoo? This small snake tattooed on the finger might be just what you need. It’s a cool and trendy design that makes a statement despite its size, thanks to its unique placement. You can also consider tattooing a tiny snake behind the ear or on the wrist.

UNIQUE SNAKE TATTOO

Next, we have a unique design featuring a snake on the thigh. This tattoo has a Cobra-style snake combined with a mandala pattern around it. The fierce and bold snake contrasts beautifully with the mandala, adding a pretty, feminine touch. You can choose any mandala pattern and even incorporate some color for a personalized look.

SNAKE WITH A HAND

This tattoo is quite unique as well. It features a hand with a snake wrapped around it, accompanied by a small spider web and a moon. The design has a quirky, magical vibe thanks to the moon. This tattoo can be placed anywhere and customized with any color you like.

BLACK SNAKE ARM TATTOO

This design showcases a simple black ink snake that appears to wrap around the arm. It’s a bold tattoo that makes a strong statement.

UNIQUE BLUE SNAKE AND FLOWERS

This tattoo features a snake in various shades of blue, surrounded by beautiful flowers. It’s a unique and stunning design. You might opt for a blue snake like this, or consider a similar design with a different colored snake or a variety of flowers.

STYLISH SNAKE STERNUM TATTOO

It’s a cute and stylish design that will look fantastic on anyone. You can recreate it as is or add some color for a bolder effect. Since the snake is quite small, it can be placed in various spots on the body, including the spine, where it would look really cool.

VIBRANT RIB TATTOO

Earlier, we featured a blue snake tattoo adorned with flowers and bright patterns. This next tattoo is similar but with a different floral arrangement and snake shape.

RED INK SNAKE WITH A BOTANICAL DESIGN

Whether you’re drawn to the serpent’s mythical qualities or simply appreciate its elegant form, a snake tattoo can be a beautiful and meaningful addition to your body art collection.

THESE PEOPLE COULD HAVE USED A TWICE THOUGHT BEFORE GETTING THEIR NEW TATTOOS

Tattoos are a form of self-expression, a way to mark significant moments or simply to adorn the body. However, sometimes, a tattoo can go horribly wrong. Whether it’s a typo, a poorly executed design, or a tattoo that simply doesn’t age well, there are plenty of examples of people who might regret their decision to get inked. Let’s take a look at some of the most cringe-worthy tattoos.

WORKING FROM HOME WENT TOO FAR

Sure, we’ve all had those days when choosing an outfit feels too much, and going without seems tempting. But, as we all know, society expects a bit more modesty. Enter this guy, who’s bypassed the wardrobe dilemma entirely. No more clothes shopping or sun exposure worries for him—talk about a bold move!

GOING WITH THE LOVE ANGLE

It’s clear what they were aiming for with this tattoo, but a complete reversal might be the best bet now. While a permanent tribute to a child’s significance is touching, a permanent spelling error? Not so much. The humor here lies in the fact that not only has mom unintentionally become an “angle,” but the statement itself is, you guessed it, also at an angle!

ANYONE KNOW WHAT DATE HALLOWEEN IS?

Alright, we’re assuming this isn’t meant to be the Bride of Chucky, but who could it be instead? Avril Lavigne? Britney Spears? Amanda Seyfried’s character from Mean Girls? Honestly, we’re stumped, which doesn’t exactly speak well for the tattoo artist. And what’s she holding with those creepy claws? It looks like either a tiny microphone or a gigantic lipstick. Once again, we’re at a loss!

WE’RE ABSOLUTELY OWLING

This hawk, falcon, or whatever it is, might need to lay off the snacks if it wants to stay airborne! But if it can’t take flight, it’ll at least make a steadfast shoulder companion for its owner. Maybe the bird isn’t as chunky as it appears; it’s just that its small beak makes its round body look even more pronounced.

PLAY AT YOUR OWN RISK

Oh no. If this is some sort of gambling machine, we definitely don’t want to be around when it pays out! It has all the signs of a bachelor party blunder or maybe the result of a losing bet—fitting with the theme, at least. We can only imagine how many people have tried to insert a coin into this slot. Not a pleasant thought.

FINDING DIRECTION IN LIFE

Spelling mistakes are bad enough, but when your entire tattoo is a compass, getting the directions right should be a top priority. Mixing up East and West might be somewhat forgivable (though it is permanent ink!), but confusing North and South? That’s quite the feat. Luckily, this lady’s compass is unlikely to lead her astray since she won’t be able to see it anyway!

PUTTING YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD

This is a classic example of a terrible idea executed flawlessly. The design itself is superb, but we can’t quite grasp the reasoning behind permanently inking a sneaker onto your foot. And who’s going to tell him that a pair of Chuck Taylor Converse costs less than the time spent on this tattoo? Still, the craftsmanship of the artwork is undeniably impressive.

DON’T STOP BELIEVING

A big shoutout to all the kids who paid attention in elementary school—this is why spelling matters! Many jobs require a solid grasp of language, and tattooing is definitely one of them. Even if a client provides a design idea, it’s up to the artist to double-check and ensure everything is correct. Unless, of course, they were playing a prank on this guy: plot twist!

A NOT SO KILLER QUEEN

Is this real life or just fantasy? Freddie would surely be in an emotional landslide if he saw this artist’s take on him. The tattoo is based on such an iconic image of the Queen star that it’s clear who it’s meant to be, but the execution falls short. For starters, what’s going on with his left eye?

STATING THE OBVIOUS

It’s hard to imagine anyone disagreeing with this statement! Despite its jarring nature, there’s something endearing about the irony and self-deprecation of this tattoo, making it slightly less problematic than some of the others on this list. Finding positives isn’t easy, but at least all seven words are spelled correctly—a definite win! Beyond that, we’re at a loss. Fans of red and black might have a different opinion.

THAT’S A LITTLE BIT CHEEKY

Alright, we get it—you’re a proud parent. But a face tattoo? The ink color and intense shading give this tattoo an oddly aggressive vibe. It’s a shame because the subject matter is really cute! Unfortunately, this piece might end up in a folder with countless other face tattoos that perhaps should have been declined by the artist.

WHEN YOU HAVE EYES IN THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD

Anyone with kids knows that claiming to have eyes in the back of your head is a great way to get them to behave when they think you’re not watching. Maybe that’s the idea behind this unusual tattoo. To be fair, the tattoo itself is impressively realistic and well-executed, though the accompanying haircut doesn’t do it any favors.

HAS ANYONE SEEN BRENDA?

Oh, Brenda, you must be quite the special lady. Although this tattoo borders on the creepy or psychotic, there are definitely some romantic undertones. We’re sure everyone would agree that we hope this guy and Brenda stay together, or things could get awkward for his next partner. Unless, of course, his next partner is also named Brenda.

JUDGEMENT DAY SHOULD BE INTERESTING

It’s hard to know where to begin with this one. The obvious issue is the apparent typo—though we assume it’s a typo? If it was intentional, the joke isn’t clear at all. Awkward. Once you get past the mishandled text, your attention shifts to the, um, image below. What appears to be a swollen hand with a ladybug on top is actually a fetus. Yikes.

NO ONE’S IDEA OF A HAPPY MEAL

This might be one of the most bizarre tattoo concepts we’ve ever encountered. This reimagined Ronald McDonald is giving off serious Heath Ledger’s Joker vibes and honestly looks like it’s straight out of a horror movie. Who knew the mascot of the world’s largest fast-food chain could be so ripped? Presumably, he’s not eating burgers all day—though maybe that’s the secret to a six-pack?

GOTHAM PROBABLY DOESN’T NEED A HERO LIKE THIS

Our first impression of this somewhat scrawny caped crusader is that it looks like a child’s drawing turned permanent by a proud parent. If that’s the case, we understand, kind of. However, if this was designed by an adult, our sympathy is much lower. The set of razor-sharp teeth in Batman’s wide-open mouth looks quite menacing. He’s supposed to be a bat, not a shark, right?

NOTHING WRONG WITH A BIT OF SELF-REFLECTION

Most people who regret a tattoo from their younger days usually consider removal or, if that’s not feasible, a convincing cover-up. Less common, though, is the addition of a disclaimer asterisk, but we’re actually here for it! This touch of self-deprecation turns what could be a slightly tragic tattoo into a humorous moment—in a good way. Instead of hiding from his past, this guy is playfully embracing it.

KEEPING IT REAL CLASSY

Who’s going to break the news that his tattoo actually adds up to 489, not “party time”? This is one of those tattoos you hope is done with a temporary marker or biro pen, but unfortunately, it’s permanent ink. Still, if anyone asks about his hobbies, he doesn’t need to say a word—he can just roll up his sleeve.

DON’T LOOK AT IT DIRECTLY!

If you’re getting a tattoo focused on perfect circular shapes, like moon phases (which we assume is the intention), it’s crucial that the circles are actually round. Granted, tattooing on a limb with its uneven surface is challenging, but this is particularly problematic. Not only are the moons oddly shaped, but the eclipse shadow is all over the place.

SOMEONE PROBABLY SMOKED A LITTLE TOO MUCH

No, we definitely see the irony here. Let’s call it life imitating art—or in this case, artwork. We’d guess that the person who got this tattoo might enjoy a toke or two, but they probably should have had someone who could spell handle the job. Or maybe someone who wasn’t high? Let’s hope the typo was intentional and part of a joke, which, to be fair, could be kind of funny.

IS IT A BIRD, IS IT A FORMER PRESIDENT?

At least the person had the courage to share this “unique” tattoo in hopes of finding an artist to cover it up. While there may be people who think this SuperTrump design is fantastic, clearly the owner views it as a mistake. Mr. Trump would surely appreciate those abs and that jawline, though!

WHEN YOU RUN OUT OF MONEY FOR THE WHOLE CAST

To be honest, this is actually a pretty good tattoo. But what happened to poor Timon? Or rather, what didn’t happen? It looks like the tattoo artist finished up only for the client to point out that Timon, the hilarious meerkat from The Lion King, was missing. Not to worry, they decided to add him in quickly. Unfortunately, Timon now looks even more like a snack for a hyena.

MERMAIDS SURE AREN’T WHAT THEY USED TO BE

Freshly done and still oozing with blood, one can only imagine the thoughts of the poor guy who has yet to see the monstrosity now permanently inked on his back. We can’t see his reaction, but it must have been something to behold. Honestly, this “piece” is so bad it’s hard to critique it meaningfully.

A WOLF IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING

What is it with tattoo artists and wolves? Or, more accurately, what is it with subpar tattoo artists and wolves? It seems the fearsome wolf is a common stumbling block for many, as this example clearly shows. To be fair, even poorly done wolf tattoos usually resemble the animal to some extent! This one, however, looks more like the prey a wolf would be hunting—a sheep or perhaps a deer?

IT’S TIME TO FACE THE MUSIC

No matter how questionable (or downright terrible) a tattoo might be, there’s usually some logic behind it. The execution may be lacking, but the intended design is often clear. Not in this case, though. We’ve stared at this monstrosity for ages and it’s still a mystery! To make matters worse, its location on the body makes it even more painful to look at—covering up half a face is no easy feat.

PIKACHU DID THAT TO YOU?

Poor Pikachu, it’s tough to see you like this! There are undoubtedly thousands of fantastic Pokémon-themed tattoos out there, but sadly, this isn’t one of them. Apparently, the left eye was so poorly done that the recipient requested an eye patch to be added midway through the process. While we’re all for making the best of a bad situation, wouldn’t it have been safer to just stop and rethink?

NOW THAT’S WHAT YOU CALL A PINUP

Ah yes, the tradition of pinup tattoos continues, though this example is lacking in many ways. It’s ironic that a style meant to exude sensuality and allure ends up being anything but. Where do we start with this one? Beyond the fact that this “pinup” looks like it was drawn by an elementary school student, the exaggerated proportions are what really make it stand out. Clearly, a long torso is the new long legs!

IS THAT A JACKSON POLLOCK?

You know that disapproving aunt everyone has who thinks all tattoos are ugly, no matter what? Well, in her eyes, this is what every tattoo looks like. Even the most laid-back “express yourself” types would have a hard time finding anything positive about this one—if we can even call it that. Our only hope is that not everything on this back is permanent ink—please let it be a Sharpie!

RUNNING FROM THE WOLVES

There seems to be something particularly challenging about accurately tattooing wolves. Is it their notorious distant gaze? Their calm yet intimidating presence? Whatever it is, this artist could use more time studying wolves before permanently inking someone’s skin again. While the overall quality of this tattoo is lacking, it’s the wolf cub—or is it a badger?—that really gets us laughing.

THE RECIPIENT WAS FEELING CHIRPY AFTER THIS RESCUE

This is the tattoo equivalent of snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. What started as one of the worst attempts at a blackbird (and a framed mirror) has been mercifully salvaged by a skilled artist. This is a perfect example of why it’s okay to halt a tattoo session if you’re worried about the artistic direction—or, in this case, the lack thereof.

CONCLUSION

While tattoos can be beautiful and meaningful, it’s important to approach the decision with caution. A poorly executed tattoo can be a lifelong regret. Always do your research, choose a reputable artist, and consider the potential consequences before committing to a permanent design. Remember, a little extra thought can go a long way in ensuring your tattoo is something you’ll be proud of for years to come.
