3D-tattoos in 60 artworks Tattoo Photo #24197

3D tattoos are designed to create an illusion of depth on flat skin. They can look like a hole, a raised object, a mechanical part, or a realistic element sitting "on top" of the body.

Combining the strong linework of traditional tattooing with contemporary shading and color theory, neo-traditional pieces feel both familiar and fresh. The style allows for more realistic proportions while keeping the iconic bold look.

The chest is a bold placement choice that stays mostly concealed under clothing. Its proximity to the heart makes it a popular spot for meaningful symbols, text, and portrait work.
