The 18 best side boob tattoos that'll make you want to get inked.

Want to read this later? Pin it here. 

Forget plunging necklines or open backs, 2016 has been all about the side boob reveal.

The unofficial new ‘cleavage’, showing off the profile view of your boobs has been done by everyone from Gwyneth Paltrow to Jessica Biel and probably half of your Instagram feed.

So it was only a matter of time before side boob tattoos became a thing. Delicate and perfectly displayed in halterneck ballgowns (Paltrow) or in a bralet or oversized singlet (again - look to Insta), it's the ink taking over social media. Dare we say it, we're tempted.

From mandela designs to elephants (yes, really) here are 18 to inspire you.

1. So simple.

2. She sells seashells...

Want to apologize real quick.. It takes me a few days to respond to the inquiries.. Sometimes longer.. No, I am not ignoring you, just super super busy and I have no assistant. Sometimes I lose track so keep sending messages, that'll get my attention haha.. I'm trying my best to get to everyone's questions. Thank you all for being so patient ☺ #tattoostorres #lookgoodtattoos #shelltattoo #sideboobtattoo #girlswithtattoos #inkedup #ink #tattoos #oxnard #porthueneme #ventura #camarillo #carpinteria #santabarbara #santapaula #805 #follow #like

13. Elep-fun-t.

It's been 9 months since I got this little guy (I call him Ernie), and I love it more each time I see it. Elephants are my favorite animal not just because they're freaking adorable, but because they represent everything important to me: family (especially the maternal instinct part ????), peace, loyalty, and wisdom. They also drink water out of their noses, so that's pretty cool. 7.27.16 #tattootribute #sideboobtattoo #ernietheelephant #loveyourbody #curvyandproud
