Badminton Tattoo Ideas
There are so many different ideas you could pull from to make this tattoo come to life, sometimes you need to narrow it down. I collected my favorite ideas to help you curate the best list.
1. No Pain No Gain
Training is so necessary when it comes to learning a new sport. You get out what you put in!
2. The Basics
All you ned are the basics: a racket and a birdie.
3. A Little Toad
Toads can play, too!
4. Cats
And so can kawaii cats.
5. Little Sketch
A little sketch version of the basics is super cute if you have a more low-key style of tattoos.
6. Player In Watercolor
Bring an action shot to life with a little watercolor! It’s the best way to add a splash of color without committing to coloring in the whole tattoo.
7. Sketch Outline
How cool is this? It’s like a sketch drawing.
8. Keep It Simple
Sometimes the simpler, the better. Less is more, if you will.
9. Ghosts Playing
If you and your partner need a good matching tattoo to prove your dedication to the game, these ghosts playing together is pretty fun and hardcore.
10. Skull
Have a more edgy approach to the game? Check this out.
11. Shadow Man
The player in the shadows is a work of art. I love the depth, dimension, and power in a piece like this.
12. Impaled Gas Mask
The gas mask impaled by a birdie is a pretty intense piece, but really shows your competition that you mean business.
Cute Birdie Tattoos
Cute badminton tattoo ideas are not hard to come by. For such a fun sport, the tattoos have to match.
13. Pick A Feather
14. Birdie Wings
This is easily one of the most stunning tattoo pieces I’ve seen. It’s a new take on an angel wing tattoo.
15. Flower Crown
A flower crown with a birdie in it is as cute as it gets!
16. Yellow Blooms
Yellow blooms all around really make this design stand out.
17. Growing Right Out
This is my favorite birdie + floral design.
18. Badminton Groot
I bet you didn’t know you needed to see Groot playing badminton until now, did you?
19. Split In Half
Maybe it represents how hard you go in the game, or maybe it’s just a cool design. But either way, it’s a really cool tattoo.
20. Jump Serve
A jump serve will always be impressive to me.
21. Hyper Realism
This birdie is a dream for those that love realism tattoos.
22. Crossed Rackets
With the rackets crossed like this, I’m getting a preppy crest image. If that’s your style, you need it!
23. Geometric Addition
Adding geometric details to any tattoo design takes it to the next level. This adds some design to it without adding too much to it.
24. Cartoon
This super cartoon style is unique take on a racket piece!
25. Watercolor Backsplash
A little backsplash does the trick.
Racket Tattoo Ideas
The birdie is the most identifying part of badminton. It really shows people which racket sport you’re in love with.
26. Smoking
That’s some lightning speed there!
27. Roses
Buried in a bunch of roses is just where this birdie needs to be.
28. Losing Feathers
This is a sign of a game well played. It looks as exhausted as I feel after a game!
29. Detailed
The detail on this one really drives it home.
30. Splash Of Color
Color and motion work together to make this piece like it’s really flying through the air!
31. Memorial Piece
A memorial piece doesn’t have to be more complicated than something that will simply remind you of them with the dates on it. This is a wonderful example.
32. The Perfect Feathers
The feathers look so realistic here, I think this is my favorite of the simple birdie tattoo ideas.
33. His + Hers
Looking to match with your S.O.? This is a really cute idea especially if your thing is playing badminton together.
34. Simple
They don’t have to be anything crazy design heavy to be a good tattoo. This is such a good tattoo!
35. Mini
36. Color Top
Change up the color of the top to make it feel more unique to you! Do you have a team color you love to represent?
37. Ink Splatters
Make a splash with this one. The ink splatters keep it neutral toned while giving you the cool artsy side of it too.
Badminton Symbols To Get Tattooed
Maybe you want a badminton tattoo but not quite sure what some of the symbols that you could possibly get are.
Of course a racket and a birdie are always good options, and you can’t go wrong with a combination of the two. Maybe even a birdie in motion, or a quote or song that really gets you motivated during a game. It can be as personal or as generic as you want.
What drives you to keep playing? Think on that and you might have your tattoo idea right there!
Sports tattoos are so different because only people super passionate about a sport would get a tattoo about it. Whereas people get tattoos for different musicians and other works of art that they aren’t all that passionate about.
But sports are different.
Grab a badminton tattoo and head to the courts to show it off! You know everyone you play with will want to see it. And you know it’s going to show your competition how serious you are, too.
