There's a reason you've probably seen ankle tattoos everywhere recently. Not only are they in a easy-to-hide spot (if, you know, your parents aren't exactly on board), but they're also really, really pretty. And, they've been spotted on a lot of your celeb faves—from Hailey Bieber (opens in new tab) to Rihanna (opens in new tab)—making ankle tats the thing you're about to see all over your Insta feeds this summer.

So if you want to join the ankle-tattoo club, but need some more inspo before you take the leap, I've got you. Check out these 20 minimalist ankle tattoos, below, that you're going to want to screenshot.
