3D-tattoos in 60 artworks Tattoo Photo #24222

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.

Abstract tattoos break away from literal representation, using shapes, colors, and unconventional compositions to create expressive, non-figurative designs. The style prioritizes feeling and movement over realism.

The upper arm is a classic tattoo placement with enough space for medium to large designs. It's easy to cover with a short sleeve and serves as a natural starting point for a half or full sleeve.
