This is SO pretty! This is a great option for a full sleeve for a woman. There is great detail and coloring in this piece from the top to the bottom. You can really take a garden with you with this tattoo. It is the best of both worlds: it is edgy because it is [...]

This vine tattoo with flowers is one of the better ‘tramp stamp’ style of tattoos I’ve seen in awhile. The vines have a nice organic feel to them but are ornate enough to be artsy, especially with the flowers spaced periodically along the vine. The curves accent her curves and the colors compliment her flesh [...]

A very nice example of how beautiful a black ink tattoo can really be, without the pop of realistic colors, and can still hold great quality. The roses look so very pretty and fully bloomed. Each pedal its own, along with the leaves around them. The whole vine, with its thorns, curves with the body [...]

Such a beautiful back tattoo. So many vibrant colors included here that make everything pop out while staying inside the tone of this woman’s skin and matching it perfectly. There is a soft feature to the style of the tattoo that makes it all a peaceful scene to look at. The two butterflies on the [...]

This is a beautifully done sleeve tattoo of two elegant lotus flowers. One being in a three dimensional view and the other in a two dimensional view. I really like the way the way the water ripples, around the top lotus, in three dimensional layers that go above the flower itself. Even though it’s not [...]

The black swirls have a three dimensional effect as they swirl in the middle and seem to rise and open, almost like a rose. The inner color inside the swirls is a lighter black that fades to the outside. [...]

This compass and rose tattoo has some very nice detail. Done by Pat Patterson of Lucky 7 Tattoos, WPB Florida, the client was looking for something with filigree work and a compass. While there was not a very specific idea as to the symbolism of this piece, one would think that getting a tattoo done [...]

Wow! This tattoo is another one where it really looks like a photograph that has been applied to the skin. Done by Den Yakovlev of Negative Karma tattoo shop in Moscow, Russia, we see some really awesome technique and shading. These roses are really something, with the top one being more of a side view [...]

Cecil Porter of Murietta, CA. is at the top of his game. Can’t you smell the heady perfume of this rose? Don’t you want to reach out and feel it’s velvety petals? Don’t you wish there was a rose of this intense color in real life? I tell you what… if there was a type [...]

This is an incredible rib piece done by Melissa Fusco of Off The Map Tattoo in Easthampton, MA. Apparently, the client had the idea to copy the idea of a Dali painting that, according to Melissa, “had an anatomical heart blooming out of a heavy leafy vine, with small veins throughout the piece”. She was [...]
