20 Instagram-Approved Fun & Colorful Best Friend Tattoos

Best friends are forever. And there’s no better way to show everyone your friendship is bound to last forever than getting a tattoo with your BFF. Best friend tattoos are a fun way to celebrate your relationship, especially when they are totally personal to you. The tattoos can be matching, or they can contrast, or be a part of one whole. So if you’re pondering getting a tattoo with your BFF, and want something as vibrant, colorful, and fun as your relationship, here are some ideas that may inspire you both.
