Small blue feather on girls neck behind her ear

Blue is a popular color for feather tattoos for girls, and behind the ear or on the neck are common locations for these tattoo designs. In fact, pop star Demi Lovato sports a turquoise feather tattoo behind her left ear, which she got during the Warped Tour in 2010. The girl in this photograph has a small feather inked on the left side of her neck, and the design features an “ombre” coloring, with dark blue on the right side of the feather fading to a light blue on the left. Because tattoos inked behind the ear are pretty discreet and can be easily hidden, the meaning of these feather tattoos is often more personal or intimate. For many people, the meaning of feather tattoo represents freedom, spirituality or a tribute to a loved one.
