10 Chic Model Tattoos That Will Make You Want to Get Inked

Models have the best skin care tips and product recommendations and always have the inside scoop on the most essential mascaras. So (of course!) when we're looking for tattoo inspiration, we look to the goddesses of the runway. While Cara Delevingne may have put model ink on the map, there's many in her cohort with tantalizing tattoos. Get a closer look!

Gisele told the New York Daily News that she got this tiny star tattoo in honor of her grandmother. "When I first moved to New York, there were no stars in the sky, so to remind me of her I drew one on my wrist and kept it there for a month," she said. "Then had someone draw it in, which is why it's a little crooked. It's held up pretty well for 10 years. It helps me to ­remember her."

Beauty junkies may fangirl over Cara because of her brows, but the model's tattoos are also incredible. While it's hard to keep up with all her ink, she frequently posts her freshest works of art on her Instagram account. We're especially partial to this diamond hidden in her ear.
