Birthdate Tattoos Are Trending in 2021

Patrick Bell shares that birthdate tattoos started becoming popular in 2020 and is still trending in 2021 as many people want to commemorate their loved ones due to the Covid Pandemic. A birthdate is a small symbol that is perfect for honouring a loved one or friend.

Floral tattoos have been well-known for a while, but in 2021, they became a popular request. According to Belk, after a long lockdown period where most of us weren’t allowed to leave the house, people have started to appreciate the beauty of the outdoors again.
