Just when you thought tattoos might be reserved for the body, these mini tooth tattoos offer an alternative to the popular grills. These tattoos are incredibly minuscule in size and feature a colored engraving made directly onto the tooth's surface.
These bizarre teeth tattoos are given to consumers at the dentist where the tiny image can be painted directly onto the surface of a cap or crown. Consumers are often given a selection of images to choose from including smiley faces, emoticons and even animals. Because the surface of a tooth is usually pretty small, the images are basic and minimal with a focus on color and simplitiy. Currently the aesthetic movement is garnering popularity on Instagram through the hashtag #tattooth that shows a variety of different tattoo tooth designs.
