3D-tattoos in 60 artworks Tattoo Photo #24203

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.

Using lines of varying thickness to define shape and depth, linework tattoos achieve expression through economy. The absence of shading keeps the focus on the quality and flow of each stroke.

The ribcage offers a private placement that only shows when the wearer chooses. Its curved surface adds dimension to designs, though the area is known for being one of the more sensitive spots to tattoo.
