I just love these summery [bumblebee tattoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-95-3), although having been stung by one makes me hate the darn things. Despite this, it is hard to deny that their appearance reminds us that summer is here.

Here in the UK, these buzzing insects are endangered, so it important for us to appreciate their existence.

This has to be one of my favorite tattoo postsâ€”the yellow and black stripes of summer make me smile.

**Implications** - After all, who doesn't love to live in the summer mood all year round? With [stinging tattoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tattoo-compact) like this one with [buzzing bee ink](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hilton-palm-jumeirah) there you can guarantee a feeling of summer bliss through all seasons!
