The Top 10 Tattoos We See on Bachelor and Bachelorette Trips

Planning a party in paradise? These tattoos are the most requested by bridal crews and bachelor squads in Key West—and some of them might surprise you.

When you’re partying your way through Duval Street, sipping mojitos on a boat, or laughing through a hangover brunch, there’s one more thing that often makes its way onto the itinerary: a spontaneous tattoo.

At Southernmost Tattoo, we’ve seen it all—from sentimental group pieces to the kind of wild dares that result in matching butt tattoos. If you’re heading to Key West for a bachelor or bachelorette trip, here are the top 10 tattoos we see from party crews who want to mark the moment:

1. Tiny Palm Trees
   Simple, cute, and tropical. This design wins with bachelorettes almost every time. Usually done on the ankle, wrist, or ribcage—it’s a low-key way to remember a wild weekend.

2. Matching Coordinates
   The latitude and longitude of Key West is a popular choice. Often paired with a heart, initials, or a date. It’s clean, subtle, and always meaningful.

3. Inside Jokes
   You had to be there—and honestly, we weren’t. But if “Hot Cheese Summer” needs to live forever on someone’s thigh, we’re here for it. These tattoos are often the ones everyone ends up loving the most.

4. Cocktail Glasses or Favorite Drinks
   A martini, a piña colada, or a shot glass—party groups love tattooing their favorite beverages. Some pick matching drinks, while others each get their own. A permanent cheers to the best weekend ever.

5. Script… But Not the Cheesy Kind
   You won’t find us cranking out “Bride Tribe” in a generic font. Instead, groups are asking for unique phrases that actually reflect their vibe—nicknames, one-liners from the weekend, or a lyric that’ll make them laugh 10 years from now. Sometimes it’s elegant, sometimes it’s ridiculous. Either way, it’s always personal—and never basic.

6. Little Anchors
   A favorite among the guys. Anchors are a solid, masculine piece with symbolic meaning—and they look good in just about any placement. Often paired with names or dates.

7. Tiny Sea Creatures
   Turtles, starfish, stingrays, even seahorses. These are great for group tattoos because they can be the same design or a matching theme. It’s Key West—marine life is always in style.

8. Butt Tattoos
   Oh, it happens. Whether it’s a dare, a joke, or a badge of honor—there’s always someone in the crew who volunteers. Think peach outlines, lightning bolts, or a barely-there word. We tattoo, you decide the story.

9. “No Ragrets”… on Purpose
   Usually after tequila. Usually hilarious. Surprisingly, it ends up looking like a solid tattoo—and yes, they meant to spell it that way.

10. Your Friend’s Face
    Yep. We’ve had guys get the groom’s face tattooed on their thigh. In one case, the groom had no idea it was happening until he saw it in person. That’s either true friendship… or something else entirely.
