16 Tattoos Whose Meaning and Beauty Go Beyond Anything You’ve Seen Before

Many people get tattoos as a symbol of attractiveness or a way to show the world who they are. Sometimes it’s also because they want to commemorate something or someone. In other cases, tattoos help them cover up a bad memory or make fun of something negative that happened to them. Whatever the case, we gathered 16 images plus 2 bonus pictures that accurately show how amazing tattoos can be.

Bonus: the magic of 3D tattoos

Matthew Pehrson is an artist based in Southern Utah and his aim is to bring style and art to the area. What is unique about his work is his detailed designs and the way the lines on them flow harmoniously. He can do anything from a copy of a picture to a thick-lined tattoo to even a more intricate nature-themed image. One of the most popular designs on his Instagram page is definitely the 3D skull tattoo he did for one of his customers.

Edu Mandarina is based in Barcelona and 3D art seems to be one of the key focuses of the artist. He says that the main value behind the work is respect. Respect for both the art of tattooing and for the customers. “One of the things that I like the most in the world of tattooing is the possibility of being able to capture the ideas that people have in their heads, being able to do them with my personal touch and in this way, create happiness and a bond that are unique apart from the fact that we are part of a family.”

As much as so many of us love tattoos, we should be aware of the possible fails we might experience and the areas we might want to stay away from getting our ink on.
