3D-tattoos in 60 artworks Tattoo Photo #24251

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.

A spine tattoo draws attention to the body's natural symmetry, creating a bold centerline that works well with flowing or geometric designs. The placement is dramatic and easily hidden under clothing.
