We have prepared the best gun tattoo designs for you, so you can make your decision more easily.
37. Ribs Gun Tattoo
Yes, gun tattoos are favored among men. But, that does not mean girls can’t have them. Many gun tattoo designs look amazing on a female body. There are various placements a girl can choose from, from her arms to her heels. Or, as people would say from head to toes. When it comes to the design, pistols are one of the most frequent designs.
36. Revolver Tattoo
But, even though pistols are the most popular designs, there are so many different types of pistols. And, when it comes to the most frequently chosen pistol designs, those would be Colt revolvers and 9mm pistols. Every firearm is unique. It has a unique design and its own serial number. The same goes for the gun tattoos. Many of them may be similar, but never the same.
35. Holstered Gun Tattoos

Holstered gun tattoos are typically favored among girls. These tattoos are placed on the side of a leg. The garter adds a touch of femininity to a ‘tough’ design. This particular design may also stand for the fact that the wearer of the tattoo may seem cold and steady, but if you mess with her/him, you will be hurt.
34. Guns & Roses
Tattoo of guns and roses may be the symbol of one’s love towards the beauty of the firearms and the hard rock band. This tattoo could represent the same, but hardly, since there is only one gun present. And this gun is incredibly well decorated. The roses make the tattoo even more beautiful. This entire tattoo probably represents the admiration towards the beauty of danger and destruction.
33. Decorated Revolver Tattoo
The most frequent placements for gun tattoos are actually legs, arms, and the side of the torso. The reason for this is because guns are longer than they are tall. That is why gun tattoo designs are placed along narrow, long areas of the skin. When it comes to the design of your gun tattoo, you can chose almost anything. Curvilinearity looks very well on the handles of guns. However, you may also add another symbol next to your gun.
32. Matching Gun Tattoos
Do you and your significant other share the same passion towards firearms? Or, are your rebellious spirits reason why you two get along so well? Whatever the case is, you can always share a tattoo of a gun with someone who means a lot to you. You can get these tattoos on your wrists, legs, fingers or in completely different body parts like the couple in the picture. You can also share the same gun tattoo design, or go for different ones.
31. Guns Love
Gun tattoos have various symbolic meanings. For example, a gun tattoo may represent danger and evil. But, in most cases the meanings are different and guns do not have to be associated with something bad. Guns can also be used to represent honor and security. What do you think these two guns represent in this picture? Could it be “make love not war?”
30. Tough Girl Gun Tattoos
The most frequent placement of gun tattoos, at least when it comes to girls, are legs and ribs/side of the torso. These body parts are not quite visible. But, this is actually good. Your gun tattoo may be your hidden attribute. Not everyone knows you well, but those who do will know about your tattoo and the fact that you can be a bit dangerous and naughty from time to time.
29. Garter & Gun Tattoo
When done with black ink, tattoos look amazing. But, when you add a touch of color, they become incredible. With color, you are able to customize your tattoo in depth, more details will become visible, and your tattoo will become one of a kind.
28. Name Tag & Gun

Hmm… a name next to a gun? Is that some sort of a black list? Could be. In this particular case, it is not. ‘Dad’ is next to the gun and also flowers are present. This cannot definitely be a negative message. Flowers are a symbol of beauty and innocence. In a certain context, a gun may represent security and protection. And do you notice the anchor symbol on the handle? It is usually connected with something/someone keeping your feet on the ground. So, do you get the message now?
27. Gun, Quote & Roses
Is it possible to engrave something on a gun? It would be really cool to have a personalized gun. But, what is even cooler is a tattoo of a personalized gun. We’ve mentioned how roses next to a gun may represent the beauty that lies in destruction, danger or even rebellion. The quote “Never look back,” emphasizes the meaning even more. Do you agree with the quote? Is it smarter to never look back on the past?
26. Shoulder Gun Tattoos
One of the great places for gun tattoos, besides legs and ribs, would be your arms. Your tattoo can start at your shoulder and expand down your arm. It will resemble a sleeve tattoo. When it comes to roses, people usually get them in red or pink, but you can also go for typical black ink. It looks really good and with black ink you can emphasize certain parts of your roses you wouldn’t be able to.
25. Simple Gun Tattoo
This tattoo is very similar to Rihanna’s gun tattoo. It is placed on ribs, and it is also rather small and simple. However, Rihanna’s gun is a bit different. We don’t know what meaning Rihanna’s gun tattoo carries. But, what we know is that Rihanna got this tattoo shortly after the domestic violence scandal. Could it be that the gun became her symbol of strength and independence? Or maybe she just loves guns?
24. Hand Gun Tattoo
Now this is fancy! Besides its symbolic meaning and good looks, this gun tattoo was inked on the right place. If you imitate a gun with your hand and fingers and like saying “Bang, bang,” while doing so then this is the coolest tattoo you can get!
23. Arm Pistol Tattoo
You can have so much fun when decorating your gun tattoo. The options are endless but literary. Check out this gun for example. The design is so detailed and it looks really amazing.

22. Side Gun Tattoos
Mostly, when women get thigh or side gun tattoos, they get them inside a garter. But, that is not always required. A gun can still keep its symbolism and toughness when it is not inside a garter. Garters are mostly used to add a bit of femininity to their tough tattoo. But, you can also make your gun feminine by adding a certain pattern on it. Check out this gun’s barrel, and you will understand our point.

What could a butterfly, next to a gun, mean? Check that out here.
19. Fancy Thigh Gun Tattoo
When it comes to gun tattoos, you can make your gun seem completely realistic. But, you can also “play” with your design. For example, take a look at this tattoo.

If you are looking for a tattoo design that is sexy, intriguing and tough at the same time, you have found it. Hips are one of the most attractive parts on the female body. Add a tattoo on your hips, and wear a shirt that reveals only a tiny part of your tattoo, you will have everyone turning their heads when you walk by.

What do you think about adding wings to guns? The addition of angelic wings to something cold and deadly actually seems to resonate with fans of gun tattoo designs.
16. Intriguing Skull & Gun Tattoo
Do you see a gun in this picture? Pay attention to the area around the eyes of the skull. Above the eyes, you can see the barrel and trigger.

When it comes to tattoos, many women prefer smaller tattoos because they are not that visible, but they still send powerful messages.

3. Realistic Gun Tattoo
When it comes guys, some of them are not fond of colorful guns, tiny guns, or guns in garters. Those guys can go for these amazing, realistic gun tattoo designs.
2. Pistol Holster & Gun Tattoo
Some girls love to take their tattoos to the next level. So, instead of getting a pistol tucked in a garter, they get a real-looking pistol holster and a pistol/gun. This tattoo looks realistic and it is unique. A girl may look adorable, but she can show her toughness with a tattoo like this, not only because guns are dangerous, but also because it is painful to get a tattoo in this particular spot.

This is one of the most unique gun tattoo designs. People do tattoo flowers above, under or next to a gun, but a gun made out of flowers is pretty rare.

Can this interpretation be connected with this particular tattoo?
