The importance of a best friend can't be understated. Your bestie is the person you tell your secrets to, you share memories with, and who is always down for a fun adventure. We don't call them our ride-or-die friends for just anything—these people show up when we need them most. 

Sure, you can always show your best friend how much they mean to you by giving a unique gift "just because" but why not commemorate your special bond with something a little more permanent? These delicate best friend tattoos are sweet ways to solidify the fact that your best friend will be there for you (and you'll be there for them, of course), no matter where life takes you. Choose to get matching designs or slight variations of the same thing—what you and your person get is totally up to you. These tattoo ideas are as unique as you are.

Sun, Moon, and Star

We love this idea for a group of three best friends looking to get matching tattoos. The design is the same, but each person has a dedicated symbol shaded in to symbolize their role in the relationship.

Matching Dates

Sophie Turner and her ride-or-die bestie, Maisie Williams, got matching tattoos of the date "07.08.09" because that was the day they each found out about their roles on Game of Thrones. If you and your best friend have a symbolic date in mind, you can commemorate it like they did in matching ink.
