Simpson Tattoo Photo #4295

More than three decades on air have turned Homer, Bart, and the rest of Springfield into instantly recognizable icons that translate well to skin. From faithful character portraits to surreal mashups, Simpson tattoos let fans wear their humor on their sleeve.

Achieving lifelike results in skin requires mastery of light, shadow, and color blending. Realistic tattoos often look three-dimensional, with subjects appearing to emerge from the skin surface.

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.
