3D-tattoos in 60 artworks Tattoo Photo #24236

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.

Illustrative tattoos combine elements of traditional illustration with tattooing techniques, blending detailed linework with expressive shading. The style bridges the gap between fine art and body art.

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.
