Step Aside Nail Art, Because Cuticle Tattoos Are The New Trend We're Loving On Social

Pictures of people’s designs have been making the rounds on Instagram and we’re here for this new trend.

That’s why we’ve created this list of some our favourites on Instagram, to help inspire you.

You’d be spoiled for choice if you opted for a cuticle tat. The trend’s growing popularity means more and more designs are cropping up.

If you feel like already switching up the new trend, then make like this Instagram babe and go for gold. Not permanent, but still cute.

If discretion is more your speed, go for a bold illustration on just one cuticle instead of all five.

Whatever you decide, you’re sure to be the envy of your favourite nail salon.
