Sanity

"Growing up in the light with a million eyes on you just isn't normal. I've lost friends along the way and I've lost myself too sometimes," Jenner wrote on Instagram in 2015. "My first tattoo was 'sanity' to remind myself everyday to keep it."

She later added the word "before" above it. The red ink tattoo now says "before sanity."

Small Heart

Jenner also has a small red ink heart tattoo on her left arm. She explained that she got it to celebrate her eighteenth birthday. Tiny heart tattoos are trendy these days. Perhaps we have Jenner to thank for that.

Grandma Mary Jo

Jenner is very close with her maternal grandmother, Mary Jo. She is so fond of her that she got her signature tattooed in red ink on her left arm.

Squiggle M

This red tattoo is a bit of a mystery. While it might look like a squiggle, Jenner explained that this red tattoo is actually the letter "M." She offered no further explanation about the design that's inscribed on her inner pinky.

Flaming hearts like this one are all the rage today. Most people get them in black, but it's clear that red ink is the way to go.

Cherry Blossoms

Botanical designs are so popular because they translate perfectly into tattoo form and celebrate nature. Pick your favorite blooms and let your artist get to work crafting the perfect design.

Anatomical Heart

While Jenner has a heart symbol, you can go with something more nuanced for your red tattoo. Go ahead and wear your heart on your sleeve.

Who doesn't love a pomegranate? We are big fans of fruit and food tattoos and encourage you to go with something juicy.

Teeny Tiny

Here's another micro-small heart tattoo, and we share it with you because it's red and not black. See how big of a difference a little color makes? Red is always smart regarding any tattoo, but you've got a perfect excuse with a heart.

If you're not afraid to play with color, a heart that seems to fade from red to black, as you see in the above example, or from any color to another is cool. Add a few colors, and you can have a very dramatic ombré effect.

Little Boot

This small heart tattoo was too cute not to share. We find a little cowboy boot filled with itty-bitty hearts. How sweet is that? It makes us want to yell, "yeehaw!"

White Is an Option
