19 Cowgirl Tattoo Ideas to Embrace the Western Trend

There’s no doubt about it, 2024 is the year of the cowgirl. Beyond country’s wildly popular influence on music- looking at you, Beyoncé and Post Malone– the fashion and beauty worlds are seeing all things Western in their midst. First, it was cowgirl copper hair, seen on everyone from Megan Fox to Shay Mitchell, which pairs perfectly with cowboy boots and a hat.

From boots and hats to more classic pin-up styles, there are plenty of designs to choose from and what better place to get inspiration than at a country music festival? So, we caught up with Mad Rabbit tattoo artist, Zakk Powers, at CMA Fest in Nashville, where the brand offered guests country-inspired flash tattoos. Read on for 19 design suggestions along with some of Powers’ pro tips for caring for your new ink.
