Zipped-Up Tattoos

Inking Zippers to Enhance Scars

These are some of the best examples of tattoos interacting with the human body I have seen, and it is a really positive message too.

All of these zipper tattoos are placed around existing and old scarring, turning old battle scars into works of art. In particular, the leg scar tattoo looks like it would have been from a pretty badass injury.

Implications - Getting a zipper tattoo is an awesome concept to think about if you have always pondered the subject. Turning a scar into a piece of body art not only looks unique, but you will have a great story to tell when people ask you about it!
