20 Minimalist Tattoos for the Design Lover

Simple straight lines, geometric shapes and a few nature-inspired designs are like a breath of fresh air in the typically bold world of tattoos. Even if you are not usually the type who likes tattoos, these are so delicate and discreet that the fear of commitment disappears. From constellations of stars camouflaged among freckles to single lines around the wrist boosting your bracelet arm party, these 20 minimalist tattoos seamlessly blend in without ever looking tacky.

1. Feminine Shapes: Teeny tiny color blocking? Yes, please! If you’re hesitating to get a tattoo because of the pain factor, rest easy knowing that these little triangles will give you a lot of style for a minimum amount of discomfort. (via Design Taxi)

2. Mountain Wild: If your spirit is craving the wild-and-free life, a minimal mountain range is a pretty way to show off your love of nature. (via Tattoologist)

3. Written in the Stars: Tattoo artist Miso only does tattoos for friends on a trade system. For example, this elegant Orion’s Belt constellation was created for her friend in exchange for a cooking lesson. The delicate stars mimic freckles along the ribs in a beautiful way. (via Miso)

4. Diamonds: Diamonds are said to be a girl’s best friend, and this little gem just further proves the point. (via Design of Tattoo)

5. Dot Dot Dot: The tiny dotted lines of this bow make it almost look like it was stitched onto the wrist. If bows aren’t your thing, you could incorporate the dot idea into all kinds of shapes and designs for a more feminine feeling. (via Seoneon Tattoo)

6. BFF Love: Or significant other love? Maybe they are the strong solid one and you are the optimistic dreamer? Whatever the story behind your matching tattoos, a simple geometric shape will never go out of style. (via @ingenvity)

7. Love You Forever: Really show that you mean “forever” with a wedding ring tattoo. A simple line is an elegant knuckle option that you can pair with some more traditional sparkle if you’re so inclined. (via Tattoodo)

8. Quote Me: Maybe you’re a lover of great books or your whole life feels like the plot of a twisty novel. However these little quotation marks make you feel, the simplicity of the style means you can write your own story between the lines. (via Tott Photo)

9. Geo Friendship: Friendship bracelets come and go with the season, but matching tattoos really show you’re BFs for life. Each of you can put your favorite color as an accent shade or leave them simply black and white. (via Seoeonmo)

10. Tiny Sprigs: Instead of getting a whole bouquet of brightly colored blooms on your shoulder, try a tiny sprig of lavender or another favorite flower — it will look good forever. (via DeMilked)

11. Modern Gems: This one is part diamond, part modern piece of art, with a single black line that makes its way all the way down the inner arm. The design is simple, but the end result is definitely dramatic. (via Mirja Fenris Tattoo)

12. Crossed Branches: You may not be able to admire a tattoo on the back of your arm, but everyone you pass on the street will appreciate your stylish taste in ink. (via Hand Poked)

13. Lines and Lines: Whether you go very thin or play with different thicknesses, a stack of black lines is a fun way to accent your arms. (via Blu)

14. Arm Party: Boost your arm party game with a single line tattoo that looks amazing even when all the bracelets have come off. Instead of a single straight line, the dip makes this tattoo just a little extra special. (via LTW Tattoo Studio)

15. Offset Birds: Minimal and modern, the outlines of these two little birds are a lovely way to represent you and a loved one or your two kids… or maybe you just want to put a bird (or two!) on it ;) (via Lionel Fahy Out of Step)

16. Pyramids: For those of you who aren’t quite ready for permanent ink, these temporary tats remind us of a more geometric version of yin and yang. Keep your energies in balance with a tiny triangle on each wrist — one all black and one an open line. (via Etsy)

17. Solar Eclipse: Simple, but with a big astronomical punch, this magical tattoo lets your skin do all the talking. (via Miso)

18. Wrist Shapes: If you think triangles have been done to death, maybe this design will change your mind. Overlap several geometric shapes and then add a couple little dots for extra personalization. (via @bicemsinik)

19. Nape Arrows: The base of the neck is an ideal place to get a tattoo if you want to be able to hide it at certain times. But once you pull your hair up, these powerful little arrows embody your inner warrior. (via @little.tattoos)

20. Ruled Lines: Do these blue and red lines remind anyone else of lined paper from school? Pick any colors you want and you’ll always have the perfectly styled accessory right there on your wrist. (via FFFFound!)

We've seen Zendaya in a variety of different roles: a recovering addict, a witty comic book character, and a Chicago dancing queen (IYKYK). Up next? A tennis prodigy. In her new film Challengers, she stars as Tashi, a tennis player-turned-coach following an injury on the court. Even though the SAG-AFTRA actors' strike pushed the film, which was originally supposed to open the 2023 Venice Film Festival, to April 2024, we're still more than excited to see Z dominate — both on the tennis court and off. Check out the rest of this year's April movies (and spring movies) to see what else is coming in 2024.

CHALLENGERS | Asking For Your Number – Official Clip

In the first clip from the Challengers movie, you can immediately feel the chemistry between Zendaya's Tashi, Mike Faist's Art, and Josh O'Connor's Patrick. Tashi isn't sure she wants to get involved with Art and Patrick, but they might prove to be pretty persistent...

CHALLENGERS | Official Trailer 2

Okay, I knew that Challengers would focus on a love triangle but I didn't realize just how messy this story was going to be — and I have so many questions. Is Tashi actually coaching both Art and Patrick at the same time? Is she exploring relationships with both of them at the same time? This is totally reminding me of the love triangles of teen dramas like One Tree Hill and The Summer I Turned Pretty and I am not mad about it.

What is Challengers about?

www.youtube.com

CHALLENGERS | Official Trailer

Zendaya stars as Tashi, a coach who's using her experience as a pro tennis player to turn her husband Art into a champion. Tashi decides that he needs to play a challenger event (almost the lowest tournament level on the professional tour), but things take a turn when Art is pitted against Patrick, his former best friend — and Tashi's ex.

When is the Challengers release date?

Because of the delay, Challengers will now hit theaters on April 26, 2024. Since the movie totally revolves around tennis, this is the perfect spring movie IMO!

Who else is in the Challengers cast?

In addition to Zendaya, we'll see Mike Faist, who was in the original Broadway cast of Dear Evan Hansen and in 2021's West Side Story, and Josh O'Connor, known for The Durrells in Corfu and The Crown.

Luca Guadagnino directed, while the script was written by Justin Kuritzkes. Amy Pascal, Luca Guadagnino, Zendaya, and Rachel O’Connor serve as producers.

Where can I watch the Zendaya's Challengers movie?

Instead of opening the Venice Film Festival, Challengers is now coming to theaters next year. Considering it's being distributed by Metro Goldwyn Mayer Pictures and Amazon Studios, it might also end up on Prime Video after its theater run ends.

Is Challengers based on a true story?

Challengers is not based on a true story but if you're looking for some IRL tennis drama, check out Break Point ;).

Where did they film the Challengers movie?

Image via Amazon MGM Studios

Zendaya and the rest of the cast filmed Challengers from May to June 2023, mainly in Boston, Massachusetts. Warmer weather and sunny days can set the tone for filming intense scenes, especially when you're playing tennis outside, and I'm excited to see how that affects the rest of the movie.

Did Zendaya have to learn tennis for Challengers?

Zendaya On Her In-N-Out Order, Last Show Binged & Styling w/ Law Roach | Ask Me Anything | ELLE

In a (pre-strike) interview with ELLE, Zendaya explains how she prepped for Challengers, and how one of the biggest, er, challenges, was the training process.

"My fans know this about me — I'm not the hugest fan of having to work out. I don't necessarily look forward to it, but I had to because my character's supposed to be a tennis pro, and clearly I'm not giving tennis pro, right?" she jokes, referencing her arms. "Yet!"

"We had an incredible team of people that we got to learn from, but I was with Josh (O'Connor) and Mike (Faist) every day," she continues. "They were the reason that I was able to smile and laugh through our workout sessions. It was a good time. I think we all really needed to lean on each other in those moments."

We're certain that whatever bond they formed during training will come through in their performances. We can already tell all three have great chemistry!

Stanley and Target have us swooning over their new collection of Target Stanley cups! Sold only at Target, the new collection encapsulates summer vibes to the max with rainbow colorways and vibrant prints. Of course, these new Target Stanley cups include the famous Stanley tumblers (the ones with a handle on the side, IYKYK), but there's also everything from water bottles to coolers.

Whether you're heading out for a lake day, chilling by the pool, or just getting outside more this summer, the Target Stanley cups in this vibrant collection guarantee to keep your water (or summer cocktail) cold with a strong stainless steel construction and vacuum-sealed design.

Let's dive into the new Target Stanley cups, coolers, bottles, and more!

40 oz Stainless Steel H2.0 FlowState Quencher Tumbler in Summer Plaid

This Summer Plaid color is everything! Available in three other Target-exclusive colors, this 40 oz tumbler is expertly insulated to keep your drinks super cold – even in the intense summer heat! You can sip from this tumbler either through the spill-resistant straw or the wide-mouth opening. The slim bottom half allows this tumbler to fit in most cup holders.

40 oz Stainless Steel H2.0 Flowstate Quencher Tumbler in White/Electric Yellow

Boasting the same design, this tumbler is covered in a stark white color, with the handle, printed logo, and lid popping out with an electric yellow. If you love pops of color (and ice-cold bevvies), this is the Target Stanley cup for you.

30 oz Stainless Steel IceFlow Flip Straw Tumbler in Poppy

Similar in design to the Stanley Quencher Tumbler, the IceFlow Tumbler's handle is placed on top instead of on the side. This 30 oz pick travels like a traditional jug, but the lid has a sturdy folding straw to sip from. This cup is also compatible with most cup holders, and just looks like a dream with this vibrant poppy red color! You can also snag it in Aquamarine, Cobalt, and Marigold.

10 oz Stainless Steel Everyday Go Tumbler in Aquamarine

It's no coincidence this tumbler is shaped like a stemless wine glass... 😉 Get to sippin' your favorite white, rosé, or red wine this summer in complete stainless steel style with this adorable 10 oz Stanley. It also comes in more summery colors like the pink-ish Amethyst or yellow-y Sunshine.

20 oz Stainless Steel All Day Slim Bottle in Sunshine Striped

This bottle's funneled top section actually screws off and on, so you can fill it up with ease. Flaunting the same insulation as the rest of the Target Stanley cups, this durable bottle also has the major advantage of fitting seamlessly into backpacks and tote bags with zero spillage! It also comes in colors Amethyst Striped, Cobalt Stripes, and Summer Plaid.

16 qt Plastic Easy-Carry Outdoor Cooler in Lilac

This Stanley cooler is a lot lighter than you'd think – carrying a whole 16 quarts, it lifts and travels easily with a massive handle that makes carrying it a breeze. It's fitted with two times the foam insulation of your typical travel cooler, keeping ice frozen for over 24 hours, which is so impressive (and helpful for hot days). It closes securely with clasps around the lid to avoid leaks and spills. It also comes in blue and yellow.

Slim Stainless Steel All-Occasions Can Chiller in Summer Plaid

Your fave canned cocktails and sparkling waters just found their new BFF! This can chiller from Stanley + Target hugs slim cans to insulate them and keep them cool. Just one use by the beach or pool will surprise you, extending the life of your ice-cold canned drink far beyond what you're used to.

Stainless Steel Happy Hour Cocktail Shaker Set in Sunshine

Did someone say "cocktails"? Boozy bevs are definitely in order once summertime rolls around, and this sleek stainless steel shaker stands up to the job with a screw-top that eliminates spills, an attachable juicer for less dishes, and a quality strainer that perfects each and every sip. It even comes with two insulated rocks glasses so you can shake something up for you and your bestie!

16 oz Stainless Steel Stacking Pint in Amethyst Striped

This open-top pint glass is perfect for pouring light summer beers (or non-alcoholic canned drinks) into, keeping it cold all the while. We adore this pink and red colorway, but it also comes in Aqua Striped, Cobalt, and Sunshine.

24 oz Stainless Steel IceFlow Aerolight Water Bottle Cap and Carry in Citron

Designed for drinking on-the-go, this IceFlow Aerolight design boasts a tight screw-on cap that's easy to hold by the top handle. The width of the bottle allows for easy transport in cup holders, backpacks, purses, and more! You can also shop it in a red-orange color called Tiger Lily.

2 gal Adventure Fast Flow Water Jug in Azure

You could put some ice-cold water in this bad boy, but batched cocktails sound even better! This Stanley jug carries up to 2 gallons of liquid, dispensing it easily at the bottom spout. The lid attaches with strong clips to keep things running smoothly, sans spills.

64 oz Stainless Steel Stay-Chill Pitcher in Frost

Alternatively, this 64 oz pitcher can handle a big batch of cocktailis (or water, tea, etc.) for a slightly smaller crowd. It features a tight lid that helps you avoid spills or even outside contamination from summer blooms or bugs.

20 oz Stainless Steel IceFlow Flip Straw Tumbler in Marigold

This adorable orange pick is one of our fave Target Stanley cups from the new collection. The sunshine-y yellow and marigold colors look super cute, all while you sip away.

Standard Stainless Steel All-Occasions Can Chiller in Cobalt

Everyone can make use of this can chiller for beers, ciders, sparkling waters, sodas, and more. It fits any traditional can size to keep it cold all day long!
