Today, hippie tattoos appeal to people who connect with the original values or simply love the optimistic, colorful aesthetic.

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.
