everyone loved the look of anklets…back in the 90s. but what was once cool is now cool again, thanks to hailey baldwin and her trend-setting fashions and the revolving door that she is Fashion. last year, hailey was photographed wearing a very unique gold anklet during a spring walk. From that day on, the once-in-fashion anklet was suddenly back on the cool table.
Then why not double down and get an ankle bracelet tattoo? nicole richie has one. you’ll never lose it and you won’t have to worry about taking it off when going through airport security. In addition to those questionable reasons to get an anklet tattoo, we’ve put together a gallery of 33 photos that are definitely persuasive enough to push you over the fence if you’re at it.

Our favorite type of anklet tattoos are the delicate, barely-there designs that realistically hang down from the ankle. this design ticks all those boxes and includes a unique mandala charm that really ties the piece together. (photo: sashatattooing)
