In this post I will introduce you to the top baseball tattoo ideas and give you some insight into the kind of designs that you can get!

The Best Baseball Tattoos

Here are the top baseball tattoo designs that you can choose from:

Baseball Seam Stitch Tattoos

This is such a great baseball tattoo design, especially if you are looking for something unique yet simple!

For these kinds of baseball tattoos, you only get the stitching that you find on baseball seams. It is up to you to decide how realistic your baseball tattoo design is - you can choose the traditional red stitches or stick to the basic black.

There are a lot of different places that you can get this kind of baseball tattoo design. If you want to keep the concept similar to the seams you would find on a baseball, then your wrist, forearm, biceps, ankle will work.

At the same time, this is a really cool baseball tattoo to get to cover up a scar!

Baseball Ball Tattoos

There is no better tattoo for baseball fans to get than an actual baseball! After all, it is a simple way for you to showcase your love of the game.

Of course, this kind of baseball tattoo may not automatically be at the top of your list. This is because it can seem a little boring as far as sports tattoos go.

Well, I am here to tell you that there is absolutely nothing boring about this kind of baseball tattoo design.

Simple Baseball Tattoos

Of course, if you like, you can go ahead and get a run of the mill baseball as an arm tattoo or upper body tattoo. These can look really cool, especially if you decide to get a more realistic baseball tattoo design.

Flying Baseball Tattoos

If this feels a little tame to you, though, there are plenty of other baseball tattoos for men and women for you to choose from.

One kind of baseball tattoo design for you to consider is the ball flying through the air. This is a great for you to recreate the thrill of the game - when the ball is in motion and no one knows where it is going to go!

Baseball Tattoos With Autographs

Another really cool idea is to get a baseball with the signatures of your favorite player or players. This is such a creative concept and allows you to also showcase your admiration for the top players in the league.

For these kinds of baseball tattoo designs, it is a good idea to look up the autographs of your favorite players so that your tattoo artist can recreate them perfectly. This can also help the baseball tattoo to look more realistic.

The key to a good looking baseball tattoo for this kind of concept is to use ink that is close in color to a pen or marker.

Baseball Tattoos With Angel Wings

Do you want to honor or commemorate a loved one who introduced you to the game? Then a baseball with wings attached is a beautiful way to do this.

Now, you can keep this kind of tattoo simple with just the ball enveloped in wings or you can add other features like a halo.

Want to add even more detail to your design? Well, then you can also add heavenly light around the ball and wings.

You may also want to add a few personal touches like names, dates, etc. Or, you can add elements that you associate with your loved one who passed away.

Baseball Bat Tattoos

The next logical idea for your baseball tattoo design is to have a baseball bat inked on you! The distinctiveness of a baseball bat means that it is an excellent option for a baseball fan who wants to proclaim their love of the game.

At the same time, this is a wonderful baseball tattoo for someone who plays or played the game. If you played baseball at any level at all and still enjoy partaking in games, then this is the perfect baseball tattoo for you.

Once again, there is no need for you to choose a boring baseball bat design. If you want, you can go for a simple or realistic baseball bat design.

If you would prefer to step things up, then you can make it look like the baseball bat is emerging from beneath your skin. This can be a really cool tattoo design for somebody who lives and breath baseball - it shows just how much this game is a part of you.

Another idea would be to get one or two baseball bats in the traditional style. This is a classic baseball tattoo design that creates a vintage look for your ink. This kind of baseball tattoo works well if you want a throwback to the older days of baseball.

Baseball Glove Tattoos

A tattoo with one or more baseball gloves can actually be a rather meaningful baseball tattoo design.

This is because the baseball usually depicts a relationship between son and father or another male role model.

So, getting a baseball glove tattoo is not only about your love for the ball game, but is also a reminder of all the happy memories that you had with a loved one.

It is because of this that such a baseball tattoo design works really well as a memorial design for someone who has passed.

Here are some of the baseball tattoos that you can check out for this kind of concept:

Sports Equipment Tattoos

Can't figure out whether you want to get the ball, the gloves, or the bat? Well, there really is no need to choose - you can get all the equipment included in your body art!

Once again, this can make for a really beautiful memorial tattoo in honor of the person who introduced you to this particular sport.

Baseball Team Tattoos

Baseball may be your first love but there is a good chance that your baseball team is a close second! This is why baseball team tattoos are such a great idea for you!

Now, there are a few different options available to you for this kind of baseball tattoo design.

Looking for simple baseball tattoos? Then, getting the logo of your favorite team is the way to go!

One of the nice things about this kind of baseball tattoo design is that it is immediately obvious which team you are rooting for - the team logos of the New York Yankees, Red Sox, White Sox, Cubs, and more are recognizable.

And, if you don't mind being controversial, why not get the logos of two teams or even more!

If you want, you can also get a tattoo of a baseball hat with the logo - this is a nice variation from the more traditional baseball tattoos. You can get a skull tattoo wearing a hat for an unusual take on this idea!

Baseball Player Tattoos

If you want to take your baseball tattoo design to the next level, then why not get a baseball player tattoo? After all, this is something that sports lovers would love to carry with them.

Now, if this is the kind of baseball tattoo design that you are considering, then you should be aware that there are a few baseball tattoos available to you.

Real Baseball Player Tattoos

Your first choice is to get a baseball player tattoo of a real life player. This can be of a legendary player like Babe Ruth. Or, you can get one of the newer players.

This kind of baseball tattoo design can be any size that you want. It can work as a smaller upper arm tattoo. Or, you can go all out with sleeve tattoos, if you like.

It goes without saying, but make sure that you pick a talented artist for this kind of baseball tattoo. This is especially important if you want the baseball player to look realistic - there is a lot of detail that goes into a tattoo like this.

Aesthetic Baseball Player Tattoos

Maybe you dont want a tattoo of real life baseball players - that's fair enough. In this case, you can go ahead and get fictional baseball players inked on your body.

For these kinds of baseball tattoos, there are no rules. However, a popular tattoo design is the traditional vintage aesthetic.

This is really cool because it creates a lovely antique, 50s looking tattoo design.

Baseball Field Tattoos

This is definitely an unusual take, but it is still a fun and cool tattoo idea! As the name suggests, you can get a baseball field inked on you.

Now, I know that this kind of tattoo can seem like quite the commitment but it doesn't have to be. There are plenty of smaller designs that you can get so that your ink doesn't take up too much real estate on your body.

If you would like, you can get a tattoo of any baseball field that you like. Or, you can choose a specific field - it can be one from your childhood or the field of your favorite team. You can also simply get a generic design if you like.
