Mind-Bending Illusion
You’ve probably seen your fair share of tattoos, but this one is unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. This magnificent optical illusion seems to be covering an old tattoo. It was created by tattoo artist, Jesse Rix, from Keene, New Hampshire, and we’ve got to give it to him! This tattoo is giving us a solid dose of ink inspiration!
Shattered
This shattered glass tattoo would be a perfect scar cover-up. It’s so simplistic and yet so beautiful. We can’t help but stare in awe! It’s as if someone took a hammer to your soul and cracked it just a bit to see what’s underneath the skin. Can you imagine all the double takes people would be doing if you sported one of these when you’re walking shirtless at the beach?

Queen of the Hive
Here’s another fabulous creation by Jesse Rix. Some people might gawk at this tat, but we absolutely love it. It’s a 3D rendering of a honeycomb on a client’s leg. It even has a couple of bees flying out of the hive. This is the perfect tat for people who’d want to show the world who Queen Bee is.
Mesmerizing Creation
Here’s a tattoo that might make you want to drop everything you’re doing and book an appointment at your local tattoo shop. And while all tattoo artists have different sources of inspiration and styles, you’ve got to admit that there are a few of them who are not afraid to push this art form to insane new limits! Bournemouth and Manchester-based tattoo god, Jak Connolly is a total ink master, and this design proves it! We haven’t seen such a spectacular work of art in ages!
The Wormhole Tattoo
Have you ever wanted to sport your very own personal wormhole? Well, you can get this tattooed in your arm and get the closest thing! Everyone will be losing their minds! But you better warn them not to get too close or they might fall right into the abyss and end up thousands of light years away from home.
Woman Trapped in a Man’s Body
It looks like a woman trapped inside of this man’s body. The design is both creepy and thought-provoking. This must have taken days to complete. Just look at the definition and the various shades! It’s so realistic. This is some great artwork that also compliments the body of whoever chose to get this inked on their chest. Ben Thomas, from Melbourne, Australia, is the guy who crafted this wonderful creation. Clearly, he’s got more talent in his pinky finger than most of us!
