A tattoo is (generally) a permanent piece of artwork, one that merits careful consideration. The tattoo designs in the slideshow below are meant to give you an idea of what’s out there.
As you’ll see, there is no tattoo design too bizarre, too weird or too tasteless. We’ve seen tattoos that depict used women’s sanitary products, inked faux injuries and children’s cartoon characters. There are video game tattoos, literary tattoos and Surrealist tattoos.
Wherever your interests lie, chances are we’ve got a tattoo theme below that’ll help inspire your own unique design.
