Don’t wait! Bust out those bikinis and board shorts, because here are 13 micro tattoos you can show off during these warmer months.

3. Ice Cream Pop: Along with popsicles, ice cream is up there in terms of everyone’s favorite summer snacks. If you’ve ever caught yourself daydreaming about the icy treat, then you know this ice cream pop tattoo was designed for you.
4. Wave: Coast the waves of utter tattoo perfection with this simple but pretty wave. Though its clean lines give off minimalist vibes, when paired with a splash of color, it turns the tattoo into a bright, modern design.
5. Flower: Whether you love a good frolic through a field of flowers or like what a flower represents, there’s no denying this dainty design is one everyone can appreciate. Consider a behind-the-ear tattoo for a more demure option that’s suitable for the workplace.
6. Cacti: You don’t need to have a green thumb to own a succulent or cacti, and the same goes for getting a tattoo of the plant. It’s no wonder these cuties are such a hit, being so low-maintenance and all.
