A teddy holding his teddy is so precious and really captures what a teddy really symbolizes.

This looks like any teddy bear I had as a child.

The teddy bear as an angel on your shoulder would be a cute detail.

Stitched up and buttoned up, this teddy has seen a lot. But the look is pretty hardcore.

The broken hearted bear is tragic, but art can be tragic sometimes.
10. On The Mend
He’s lost an eye, but he’s still just as cool as before.
11. Pins And Needles
Pinned together, this guy has a grungy look that hasn’t entirely taken his spirit. The little smile makes him so cute regardless.

The spikes add little bit of an edgy but makes you feel some sort of brokenness in this bear.

She’s got a lot going on, but she’s so cool looking.

Cute Stuffed Bear Tattoos
As teddy bears tend to represent childhood innocence, these are the perfect image for a cute tattoo look.
15.Being Hugged
An animal hugging a teddy bear just further shows the comfort that comes with a teddy friend.

Need a cute matching tattoo with a friend? This is the one. They’re waving opposite arms to say hi and bye to each other, and I love the ideas.

Have a stuffed animal you want to immortalize on your body? This is a beautiful example of how it can be done so well.
18. Heart Details
The heart details make this even cuter.
19. Hugging A Heart
Show your love with this sweet little design!

If your childhood friend has become your hero over the span of life, this is a cute reminder of the love of a stuffed friend.
21. The Mom Tattoo Remodel
Remember how the “mom” tattoo was such a classic? Here’s a new take.
Gangster Bear Tattoos
Gangster teddy bear tattoos is a really fun contrasting art piece.
If you’re looking for something tough and fun at the same time, this is for you.

Nonchalant and hiding the tools, this guy is playing it cool.

Add some tattoos to your tattoos.

A little guy in street style is the coolest look for him.
26. Money Bags
Add some money and a beer, and this is an edgy guy just hanging out.
27. Doing Damage
If you want something a little more hardcore, this teddy with a crowbar is insane.
28. Dollar Sign Necklace
The original gangster style.
Stitched Bear Designs
Stitched might have the same look and meaning as a broken teddy bear, symbolizing how life throws its trials at you and you get right back up.
29. Mourning
This bear has been very loved and portrays a very special image.
30. Stitched Eye
A repaired eye shows a little edgier moment for the little bear you’ve got tattooed on your body.
31. Holding A Flower
I love the detail of the flower in this one!
32. Red Ink
Interesting and spooky, this guy is a great edgy piece if you want a red ink tattoo.
33. Unbothered
The unbothered look of this bear is a sweet sentiment of the stitched teddy bear.
34. Knife
There’s definitely a deeper message here with the knife in the chest, but it’s a cute tattoo with a message nonetheless.
35. Tear Drop
A tear drop adds a layer of sadness to this guy.
Fine line/Outline Ink Inspiration
I’m a big fan of the outlined tattoos these days. Here are some of my favorite teddy bear ones.
36. Fine Line Details
The details of the hearts all over the body still being fine line work is a perfect and cute little look.
37. Minimal Line
This is some of the finest fine line work I’ve personally seen.
38. Minimal
As minimal detailing as this is perfect for such a cute little guy. You don’t need a lot of ink to spread a lot of love
39. Fine Line Full Color
The fully colored look is so different being one flat shade, I think it’s cool and still has the cool finalize work around it.
40. Heart On Display
This little guy’s heart is on display, and I just adore him.
41. Light Needle Work
This one is done so lightly, it’s such a beautiful piece of minimal line work.
42. Bold Flowers
I love the contrast of the light outlines with the dark flowers.
43. Simple
Your simplest little guy, right here.
How Much Will It Hurt?
This is going to be most effected by the style of your tattoo and the placement.
If this is on a thin skinned area or a bony location, this is likely to hurt more than if you got it somewhere with thicker skin.
Style plays a factor too, if you’re getting something pretty detailed, it’s going to be tougher to sit through than a style with fine lines. You can likely book two appointments to get some of the detail done once it has healed a little bit (Lord knows I would need to), but you can chat that out with your artist.
Meaning Behind Teddy Bear Tattoos
There are so many different potential meanings behind your particular teddy bear, but most likely it’s a representation of a bear you had as a child. We all miss our stuffed buddies from time to time.
On the other hand, teddy bears universally represent compassion and empathy. I know I would love a reminder of this, so maybe this is our sign to do so. Compassion makes the world go round, so if you need a little mental reminder, this teddy bear tattoo can be just that.
A combination of different styles is so cool, and keeps a sleeve interesting. But there’s also something to be said for committing to a particular style too, so wherever you land on this spectrum with your different tattoo ideas, there’s a teddy bear here for you.
This certain tattoo likely means something to you, maybe he symbolizes a loyal childhood friend, or maybe something a little more vague, but either way, it’s a fun addition to your tattoo journey.
Have fun with these little guys!
