The Top 27 Resilience Tattoo Ideas – [2022 Inspiration Guide]

  • Next Luxury / Tattoo Ideas
  • by — Jono Elderton

Resilience is a popular topic for tattoo collectors. While in times past symbolic images were used, tattoos now utilize the word resilience itself. Resilience tattoo ideas are all the rage these days. 

Merriam Webster defines resilience as “an ability to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change.”

For many, learning what it takes to be resilient is a difficult task, one that bears marking with a permanent tattoo reminder.

Using the word resilience in a native tongue tattoo has certainly become a more popular illustration, when previously a symbolic design or foreign language text may have been used in the depiction.

Resilience tattoos can come in a range of application styles, fonts, and alongside different secondary imagery.

The following collection showcases some of the best examples. The 26 top resilience tattoo ideas will provide inspiration for a piece of your own.

Resilience Tattoo FAQs

What do resilience tattoos mean?

Resilience is “an ability to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change.” For many, learning what it takes to be resilient is a difficult task, one that bears marking with a permanent tattoo reminder.

Using the word resilience in a native tongue-themed tattoo has certainly become a more popular illustration, when previously a symbolic design or foreign language text may have been used in the depiction.

What style resilience tattoo should I get?

With an idea such as using the word resilience in a design, simple is beautiful. Most designs either use an easy-to-read typewriter-style font or flowing cursive to illustrate the word.

Others will extend their resilience tattoo concept to incorporate other popular tattoo imagery, ranging from flowers and mandalas to birds and animals. All of these secondary images have meanings associated with strength and growth.

Where should I place my resilience tattoo?

The overwhelming majority of tattoos are placed on the inner forearm or lower part of the arm and wrist. It’s within the sightlines of the subject, which is an important factor for affirmation tattoos.

For others, especially those incorporating flowers and flowing cursive script, the lower leg and along the spine are great placements for long, narrow tattoo images.

How much do resilience tattoos cost?

Resilience tattoos are almost always smaller designs. Simple, one ink color or black tattoos can cost less than $200 for work by an experienced pro, who average $150-$200 per hour. 

The word resilience itself may only cost the shop minimum (anywhere from $75-$200 depending on the parlor)

For small designs in complex detail or those etched in a bright range of colors, they can cost 2 2.5 times the price of a similar simple tattoo ($400-$500).

Make sure you have a solid understanding of the price before committing to the work and set aside 15% on top of your price to tip the artist.
