Incredible Tattoos That Will Turn You Into A Gawker!

in #art5 years ago (edited)

Howdy folks and greetings from the great plains of North Texas!

I'm not a tattoo guy, meaning I don't have any myself but that doesn't mean I don't greatly appreciate the skill and artistry of the master tattoo artists.

I've found several that caught my attention and I think are mind-boggling. I hope you appreciate them as well.

This first one is so realistic!

This is an interesting one. (Because of the tat!) I haven't seen a totally white one before, plus the design is elegant:

Don't these look like photos? The skill to create such realistic tats is off the charts!

This one has a 3D effect that's kind of a mind-bender:

With such profound artwork on your back, would you ever wear a shirt again?

Same thing for this guy:

This one's amazing but freaky!

Majestic.

I'd love to know why someone wanted to have the Wizard of Oz on their leg, but the artist did a fantastic job:

What a realistic job, it looks like an actual patch sitting there:

Here's a gorgeous thigh tattoo. I should say a gorgeous tattoo on a thigh. lol.

Another impressive thigh but not as classy:

Wow, check this guy out. How many days would such a design take? And how much money!?

This is such a stunning portrait but why would you want such a scene on your back?

Lovely:

This is so impressive. (the tattoo!) Because of it's 3D effect it makes you look twice and study it:

Thanks for stopping by folks. Let me know if you have any favorites and if you have tattoos yourself.

It's hard to choose but I think I like the first one and also the 4th from the bottom.. the guy with the geometric patterns on his chest, shoulders and arms.

I'm sorry but I didn’t see any tattoos in the last picture.

Try harder. Focus.
I had also some trouble.

the pink finger nail and watch kinda put your focus in the wrong spot

Yeah that's the problem for sure. lol!

Howdy sir badger! It shows up on both browsers that I'm using but I'm sure someone else will tell me if there's an issue there. I'll ask around.

That's a lot of ink

@janton - wow, where did you find all of those? That eyeball in the elbow is so realistic, it really freaked me out. There is some really beautiful artwork here. I don't like needles nearly well enough to do something like that.
@tipu curate

Howdy blueeyes8960! Every once in a while I check the site thechive.com and they regularly have great tattoos that they've found so it makes for an entertaining post occasionally. I agree, the artistry is amazing. Don't all bikers have tattoos? lol.

I saw an interesting one a long time ago, but it isn't appropriate to share here. All I will say is it had to hurt a ton to get.

lol..Oh no! And they were so proud of it that they put it out there for the world to see? lol..people are so crazy.

Yeah, it was online that I saw it. It was a dragon both literally and figuratively!

Haha! Wow..I'd be kind of curious to see it but then maybe not!

So not into tattoos. Just me showing my age.

I'm the same way but I can't help but admire these amazing works of art on people. I wonder what happens when they get old though? They'll probably stay covered up!

I remember doing a massage for an elderly lady who had a large tattoo across her upper chest and the entire time looking at it from different angles trying to figure out what it may have been once. It was certainly no longer recognizable. Poor dear.

Oh, that's what I've heard about them when you get old. It is living for the present I guess.

Melinda, someone said the last tattoo didn't show up for them, the one with the tiger on the lady's forearm, did it come through for you?

Hahahaha! I suspect he couldn't see it because his eyes were focused elsewhere.

oh! lol..that's a good one!

Howdy steem-plus! Thanks so much for the upvote!

Wow these are awesome - I must honestly say even though I also do not have tattoos I love it. My skin is just very sensitive and full of nonsense so a tattoo will not work. But if I could I would have had a few - these are all very impressive

Hi - o yes we are the same as you guys - a lot of people like tattoos and then you get the ones that think it is from the devil and if you have tattoos you are a bad person. I can never understand that.

Howdy anneke! I agree, these are just mind-boggling. Is your culture down there one where tattoos are very popular?

I'm not fond of tattoos, particularly on the neck or face, but I must admit there is some amazing artwork there.

I agree totally deirdyweirdy. Some of the artwork is just astounding. Of course they aren't in your league yet but at least they're working at it.

🤣🤣I was thinking of taking up tatooing myself, well not tatooing myself, but, well you know what I mean. I think I'd be much in demand.

Oh that's a marvelous idea deirdyweirdy! I KNOW you would be, you'd be a trend-setter and probably have clients from all over the world come to your parlor!
